And he served as the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

So when he took the stage as a keynote speaker at KPMG's 2014 Insurance Industry Conference Tuesday, he came with his bona fides in order, and ready to speak to an audience that was keenly interested in any vision he could provide on 1) where the economy is going, 2) why, and 3) when (if ever) is it likely to improve.
