Career

Wolfe began his career in 1977 at the law firm of Wilmer, Cutler and Pickering (now known as

United States government and worked for the Coalition Provisional Authority in 2003 and 2004.[3][4]
Wolfe sat on the CPA's Program Review Board, the committee that made the final recommendation to CPA Administrator Paul Bremer over the $20 billion of contracts the CPA awarded.[5] For its final three months Wolfe served as the board's chairman. As chair of the board he was also the Senior advisor to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance.

The

KPMG audit of the Development Fund for Iraq reports that scheduling a meeting with Administrator Bremer had proven difficult.[6][7]
Then Bremer departed from Iraq early, leaving important loose ends dangling—like—the audit.

The auditors looked to Wolfe, the next most senior financial officer after Bremer for cooperation.[7] However Wolfe:

... was unable to acknowledge the fair presentation of the statement of cash receipts and payments, the completeness of significant contracts entered into by the DFI and responsibilities for the implementation and operations of accounting and internal control systems, designed to prevent and detect fraud and error.

Wolfe left government service in 2004, and returned as a partner in the law firm

Nelson Mullins.[4]
He retired in December of 2023.
