Former Vice President Joe Biden attracted a handful of top economic officials of former Democratic administrations to an Upper East Side fundraiser that marked the tail end of his end-of-quarter swing through New York.
Former Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, the former Citigroup Inc. executive and current counselor at Centerview Partners Holdings LLC, was at the event at the Carlyle Hotel, as was former Clinton Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, founder and senior chairman of Evercore Inc.
Steven Rattner, who led the Obama administrations Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry, was also there. Biden worked on the auto bailout effort and often mentions it on the campaign trail.
Also at the fundraiser: Stephen Scherr, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Goldman Sachs Group; Rodgin Cohen, senior chairman of the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell LLP; Stan Shuman, senior adviser of Allen & Co. LLC; and Jane Hartley, former U.S. ambassador to France and Monaco.
The event was hosted by Eric Mindich, chief executive officer and founder of Eton Park Capital Management LP , and his wife Stacey Mindich. The couple had planned to hold the fundraiser at their home but it drew so much attention that they needed to move it to a larger space, Eric Mindich told the crowd of about 100.
Rattner is chairman and chief executive officer of Willett Advisors LLC, which manages the philanthropic assets of Michael R. Bloomberg, who is the founder of Bloomberg LP, which operates Bloomberg News.
