Senior legal and policy executive with over two decades of experience in securities regulation, public service, and financial innovation. My career includes leadership roles at the SEC, where I advanced investor protection, market integrity, and rulemaking across complex regulatory frameworks. In the private sector, I have guided fintech companies through evolving regulatory landscapes, translating policy into practical compliance and governance structures. Currently at the New York State Department of Financial Services, I continue to bridge public policy and financial innovation with a focus on sound regulation and systemic risk oversight. I bring a deep commitment to principled, forward-looking regulation and public trust—grounded in experience, legal rigor, and a collaborative approach to enforcement and policymaking.
