Women Governance Trailblazers: Allison Herren Lee
In this 17-minute episode of the “Women Governance Trailblazers” podcast, Courtney Kamlet & I interviewed former SEC Acting Chair and Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, who is now Of Counsel at Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto and a Senior Research Fellow at NYU Law. We discussed:
1. Allison’s career path – including what drew her to becoming a securities lawyer and what she’s doing now.
2. Surprises that Allison experienced when she transitioned from being an SEC Staffer to being a Commissioner.
3. Allison’s proudest moment as a Commissioner.
4. Allison’s thoughts on how the Commission can balance the goals of investor protection and consistent disclosure with the risk of pushing capital formation to private markets.
