Last week, the SEC announced that Corey Klemmer, most recently the Corporation Finance Counsel to Chair Gary Gensler, has been appointed as Policy Director. She succeeds Heather Slavkin Corzo, who is leaving the agency. The press release highlights their contributions to the SEC:

Ms. Slavkin Corzo was one of Chair Gensler’s first appointments to his senior staff. She joined the SEC in April 2021 and led a team of policy experts who advise Chair Gensler on SEC rulemakings and other regulatory issues. She oversaw the proposal and adoption of nearly 40 rulemakings relating to market structure, issuer disclosure, fund oversight, and other areas critical to investor protection and capital formation. […]

Ms. Klemmer joined the SEC in July of 2021. Since then, she has supported the Chair in proposing and adopting rules implementing the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act and outstanding Dodd-Frank mandates, as well as updating insider trading rules, beneficial ownership disclosures, and the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies. For the last two years, Ms. Klemmer has worked in a project management capacity across the policy agenda.
