Miscik joined Lehman Brothers in June 2005,[6] where she served as Global Head of Sovereign Risk and was the subject of a flattering profile in Fortune magazine.[7] Following the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September, 2008, she remained briefly with Barclays,[8] which had bought Lehman’s North American Business. With the victory of Barack Obama in the November 2008 presidential election, Miscik returned to Washington for a short stint, working on the intelligence transition.[8][9] In January, 2009, she was named Vice-Chairman of Kissinger Associates, Inc.[10]
