Steven T. Mnuchin

Former Secretary of Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin founded Liberty Strategic Capital in 2021 and leads the Washington, DC-based private equity firm focused on strategic investments in technology, financial services and fintech, and new forms of content.

The Contrast Security investment is Liberty Strategic Capital’s second investment since its founding earlier this year. As Secretary of the Treasury and a member of the National Security Council, Secretary Mnuchin helped shape the U.S. government’s approach to cyber threats, including supervising the design of new economic sanctions targeting Iranian, Russian, and North Korean cyber attackers and transnational cyber criminals and using sanctions authorities to combat ransomware attacks. Secretary Mnuchin was also the U.S. government’s lead official responsible for cybersecurity across the financial services sector. In that capacity, he worked directly with top U.S. regulators and chief executives of the largest U.S. financial institutions on cybersecurity preparedness, regulatory coordination, and incident response. In addition, Secretary Mnuchin led the modernization of technology and data security within the Internal Revenue Service to better protect the single largest collection of sensitive personal financial data in the country.

Secretary Mnuchin’s previous private sector technology experience includes his service as the Chief Information Officer of Goldman Sachs, with responsibility for the firm’s global information and technology strategy and operations.
