New SEC Regional Director Eric Werner: ‘My Job is to Protect Investors’

Tuesday was Eric Werner’s second day as the new regional director of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Fort Worth Office, and he already had hundreds of new emails to answer.

“There is definitely a lot going on,” Werner told The Texas Lawbook in an exclusive interview. “This region is huge and growing at great speed. With Schwab and Fidelity and all the companies moving to this region, I’m worried about resources. If we doubled our staff, we would still keep everyone completely busy.”
