Luke Tilley

As Chief Economist of Wilmington Trust, N.A. and a member of the firm’s Investment Committee, I develop forecasts of the U.S. and international economies, as well as research emerging issues to support and enhance the firm’s investment strategy. I am responsible for communicating the economic outlook and investment strategy to all of our key stakeholders, including clients and prospective clients.

Prior to joining Wilmington Trust in 2015, I served as an Officer and Economic Advisor with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Earlier in my career, I worked as a senior economist at HIS Global Insight and as an economist for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

I hold a master’s degree and Ph. D. in Economics from Temple University, and a bachelor’s degree in Economics and History from James Madison University. I’m a former adjunct faculty member at Temple University and formerly served on the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Economic Association.
