Ruth Porat

Ruth Porat appears in Ron Conway, Founder, SV Angel: Silicon Valley Bank Crisis as Google’s CFO and a former Morgan Stanley executive who helped Ron Conway during the Silicon Valley Bank weekend. Conway says Porat offered to gather precedent from people involved in the 2008 financial crisis.

The episode makes Porat a bridge between private technology networks and financial-crisis expertise. Her work is tied to Systemic Risk Exception, Moral Hazard Contagion Tradeoff, and Deposit Guarantee Crisis Response because the group needed a credible legal and policy argument for guaranteeing deposits without making it look like an ordinary bailout.
