Gerald Fauth Biography
Gerald Fauth is an American businessperson who served on the National Mediation Board (NMB). Fauth was first appointed to the NMB by President Donald Trump in 2017 and served as its Chairman from November 2017 to June 2018 and again from July 2021 to June 2022. Prior to joining the NMB, he was the president of G.W. Fauth & Associates Inc., a transportation economic consulting firm. Fauth has been criticized over his decision to dump stocks in February 2020, one week prior to the coronavirus market crash. Fauth dumped the stocks immediately after receiving a phone call from his brother-in-law, Senator Richard Burr, who was privy to material nonpublic information about the impact of COVID-19.
