“Kristin is an incredibly talented leader in the examination program, successfully balancing multiple roles while always working to protect investors,” said Mr. Driscoll. “Kristin’s early focus on emerging areas in our markets, such as electronic investment advice and digital assets, has served the investing public well. She is committed to the advancement of the national examination program and has the respect of her colleagues across the agency.”
Ms. Snyder said, “I am honored to serve in this new role and look forward to continuing to work closely with my incredibly talented colleagues as we serve the long-term interests of Main Street investors. Together, we will continue to develop and implement impactful national initiatives to inform policy and protect investors.”
