Wally Adeyemo

Wally Adeyemo appears in Ron Conway, Founder, SV Angel: Silicon Valley Bank Crisis as [[USTreasury|U.S. Treasury]] Deputy Secretary and one of Ron Conway’s first calls during the Silicon Valley Bank weekend. Conway says Adeyemo directed him to Graham Steele, the Treasury point person on the crisis, and later took Conway’s calls directly as the process developed.

In the episode, Adeyemo matters because he turns Civic Relationships As Crisis Infrastructure into an operational pathway: a preexisting relationship gave Conway a route into Treasury before the decision window closed.
