Kimberly A. Reed (born March 11, 1971) is an American attorney who served as the chairman and President of the Export–Import Bank of the United States from 2019 to 2021. She was sworn in on May 9, 2019.
Environmental groups have criticized Reed for her role in approving the Export-Import Bank's provision of over $5 billion for fossil fuel projects they say will emit millions of tons of carbon dioxide annually, displace local communities, and have a historically high rate of worker fatalities.
Reed previously served as a senior advisor to Treasury Secretaries John W. Snow and Henry Paulson.
Reed headed the United States delegation to the inauguration ceremony of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in Pretoria on May 28, 2019.
