Nathaniel Stankard has been promoted to executive vice president and chief of staff to Financial Industry Regulatory Authority CEO Robert Cook for Regulatory Operations. He had been a senior advisor to Cook.
In this newly created position, Stankard will spearhead integrating FINRA's regulatory operations as well as advancing FINRA's unified approach to regulatory policy.
Stankard will work closely with FINRA's chief legal officer and the heads of FINRA's Member Supervision, Market Regulation and Transparency Services, and Enforcement departments to enhance FINRA's regulatory operations, further develop FINRA's integrated regulatory program and prepare FINRA for industry and market developments that may require a regulatory response, the broker-dealer self-regulator said.
Stankard will also continue to provide strategic and policy advice to Cook on other aspects of FINRA's regulatory mission.
