SEC Interviews Finalists for Fort Worth Director Job

FORT WORTH – As the top brass for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. search for a new director for the agency’s Fort Worth Regional Office, they must decide whether they want a hard-nosed federal prosecutor known for putting corrupt business shysters behind bars, a seasoned financial regulator or a corporate insider who knows the inner workings of the business world.

SEC senior leadership plan to interview the finalists, which include two current SEC officials, a former federal prosecutor and a corporate general counsel, during the next two weeks and a selection is expected by the end of August, according to lawyers familiar with the process.
