Kevin Warsh is reclaiming the traditional title of "chairman" for the Federal Reserve, a move that reverses the branding adopted by his two immediate predecessors.
The Federal Reserve's website now lists Warsh as "chairman" rather than "chair," a subtle but deliberate shift in nomenclature as he prepares to assume the role.
The change stands in contrast to the approach taken by former chairs Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell, who both preferred the gender-neutral term "chair" during their tenures.
Warsh's return to the historic title signals a break from the recent institutional branding, even as the core responsibilities of the office remain unchanged.
This administrative update follows a pivotal week for the central bank's leadership.
The U.S. Senate confirmed Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair on Wednesday in a 51-45 vote, largely split along party lines.
