Shinkman joins from the Export-Import Bank of the United States, where she served as vice president of export credit insurance, overseeing a portfolio that enables US companies to manage payment risk on international transactions. EXIM is the official US government export credit agency, supporting exporters through insurance, loans and guarantees in global markets. The transition from public sector to private market credit and political risk underwriting is analytically significant: government agency experience brings familiarity with multilateral development bank structures, sovereign and sub-sovereign credit assessment, and relationships with the public sector counterparties that private market underwriters typically develop over much longer timeframes. For HDI Global, which describes credit and political risk as a core segment of its portfolio, that institutional relationship capital is the specific asset the hire adds beyond technical underwriting experience.
