SEC Risk Director Leaving for Private Sector

The SEC announced that Charles Fishkin, who helped create the Commission’s Office of Risk Assessment under-then Chairman Bill Donaldson in 2004 and propagated an agency-wide risk management program designed to make the regulator more proactive, will leave the Commission in the new year to take a position in New York with AllianceBernstein. The agency said Fishkin, a former Fidelity Investments’ executive, will help SEC Chairman Christopher Cox in “identifying a successor.”
