In 1989, he was appointed Vice President for Latin America at Los Angeles-based Security Pacific Bank until 1991, in which capacity he oversaw the profit sharing plan for Enersis employees, and advised on the privatization of Telmex.

Coupled with the 1990 launch of an ambitious privatization program, these measures found Redrado overseeing a Buenos Aires Stock Exchange whose daily trading volume had risen around 20-fold within months.

[3] Redrado was selected as one of the "100 Leaders for the Next Millennium" by Time Magazine's International Edition in 1994, and he returned to public service as Secretary of Technological Education, in 1996.

He was offered to run for a seat in the newly created Buenos Aires City Legislature in 1997, but was he declined to continue his career as a public servant ,[4] and he left the secretariat in 1998 to lead Trident Investment Group, a local venture capital firm specializing in health care.

[3] The advent of the dot-com boom led Redrado to launch of InvertirOnline.com[5] (only the third electronic trading platform in Argentina) in June 2000; the fledgling firm prospered despite the ensuing local financial crisis, and handled over 20,000 accounts by 2003.

[1] Redrado has also published six books on the subject of contemporary economics and current affairs: Tiempos de desafíos (Challenging Times, 1995),[6]Cómo sobrevivir a la globalización (How to Survive Globalization, 1999), and Exportar para crecer (Exporting for Growth, 2003).

Kirchner nominated Redrado President of the Central Bank of Argentina on September 24, 2004 and was approved by unanimous vote by the Senate with a legal mandate for six years.

The new central banker implemented the administration's policy of keeping a competitive local currency, while foreign exchange reserves soared to nearly US$50 billion.

The president ordered a US$6.7 billion account opened at the Central Bank for the latter purpose in December 2009, implying the use of foreign exchange reserves, and drawing direct opposition from Redrado.

Recently he was named Visiting Professor in Florida International University with wide responsibilities for teaching Macroeconomics in emerging markets and doing research on National Security and the Economy for the Americas.
