The Securities and Exchange Commission has announced the departure of two of its senior personnel, who will leave at the end of January.
General counsel Anne Small and chief of staff Andrew “Buddy” Donohue, will leave the US financial regulator, in the latest raft of departures from the SEC, which include the chair Mary Jo White.
Donohue was appointed chief of staff in May 2015. Prior to this he led the SEC’s investment management department. An attorney, he was an investment management partner at Morgan Lewis & Bockius law firm, and general counsel at Goldman Sachs.
Small was appointed in general counsel in 2013. She advised on a record number of SEC enforcements, and the Dodd-Frank legislation.
The departures come at a time when the regulator is prioritising cybersecurity and GPs’ use of subscription credit facilities in its examination of fund managers.
Other high profile departures from the SEC include trading and markets division director Stephen Luparello, chief economist Mark Flannery and chief litigation counsel Matthew Solomon.
