Kevin Hassett
The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Kevin Hassett reads as The Navigator because his career has repeatedly positioned him at the centre of economic turbulence where certainty is scarce. Advising the White House through contested tax reform battles and global uncertainty, he has shown a consistent ability to make defensible calls under pressure, recalibrate as conditions shift, and explain complex trade-offs without losing composure. Steadiness of this kind, resourceful and unruffled under live conditions, is what defines the Navigator.
“The reason why I could be ready to get to work right away is that I spent five years working at the FED. I've seen what's good and bad about the way the FED people think, and there's a lot of bad.”
“If we passed the bill, people's wages will go up between four and eight thousand dollars — and four thousand dollars increase in wages was the main storyline of TCJA as we were trying to get it passed.”
“You do what you think is right, and then you watch what happens, and then when you see things that you need to adjust, you adjust them.”
