The Securities and Exchange Commission selected Jennifer Diamantis as chief of the enforcement division’s Office of Market Intelligence last week.
Diamantis had been deputy chief of the office while serving as acting chief of the division since last summer when she replaced Vincente Martinez.
Diamantis will oversee the collection, analysis, and monitoring of tips, complaints, and referrals that the SEC receives each year.
“I am honored to lead the team of dedicated professionals charged with the critically important task of leveraging the valuable intelligence we receive from the public to protect investors, and look forward to continuing to cultivate relationships with our regulatory partners to further this mission,” Diamantis said.
Prior to joining the SEC, Diamantis worked at various federal agencies, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. In her roles, she oversaw enforcement actions and complex regulations in the financial space. Diamantis was also a partner at the law firm of Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP.
“Within a short time, Jennifer has enhanced the Office of Market Intelligence’s critical mission of overseeing the SEC’s collection, evaluation, and dissemination of the vast array of market intelligence that we receive,” Stephanie Avakian, acting director of the SEC Enforcement Division, said. “Jennifer’s rich work experience as a manager and supervisor and her dedication, expertise, and skill make her an ideal fit for leading the office.”
