Cook County Board President Todd Stroger tapped Jaye Morgan Williams to be the new Cook County Chief Financial Officer, replacing his cousin, Donna Dunnings. She was forced to resign from the post in April after it was discovered she may have had an inappropriate relationship with a county employee she supervised.
Williams spent more than 25 years in financial services where she served in a number of capacities, including as senior vice president.
“Jaye is widely experienced in financial services and strategic management. She’s worked through a range of business cycles and understands the challenges they present,” said Stroger. “Her history of successful engagement with new initiatives, combined with her extensive experience in corporate finance, strategic management and project management make her an outstanding selection for the position of Cook County’s Chief Financial Officer.”
Williams was senior banker to large energy companies in the earlier stages of her career. While in corporate banking, she was engaged in management roles in leveraged buyout advisory services, acquisition debt syndications, treasury management electronic banking, credit and portfolio management, product and project management, private investing and lending, and international banking. She also served as head of Bank One’s Community Development Corporation. Bank One was bought by Chase Bank, which is now JP Morgan Chase.
