He will take responsibility for SIFMA’s legal, governmental and legislative affairs and advocacy initiatives when he begins in September. “With his breadth of financial experience in both the private and public sector, Ken understands our members’ public policy goals and business interest and will help drive our efforts to play a proactive, constructive role in the ongoing regulatory reform debate,” said SIFMA president and CEO Timothy Ryan in a statement on the appointment.
