The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority recently appointed Nathaniel Stankard as senior advisor to the self-regulator's CEO, Robert Cook, to spearhead special projects, including FINRA's strategic review of its operations.
Stankard starts his new position immediately and will provide counsel and strategic advice to Cook and FINRA's senior management.
Cook noted Stankard's "broad experience working on critical policy issues." He previously served as deputy chief of staff for policy at the Securities and Exchange Commission, as an executive director for Morgan Stanley and as an associate at the law firm of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP.
"Nathaniel's deep background across both the public and private sectors makes him an outstanding addition to the FINRA team as we undertake a strategic review of our operations," Cook said.
