The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council has appointed Amol Vaidya as executive secretary. He will manage the council’s operations in line with the goals, priorities, and guidance of FFIEC members, coordinate the work of interagency staff task forces, and oversee all operations. Vaidya most recently held a leadership role in the Federal Reserve Board’s Division of Supervision and Regulation, where he provided strategic guidance to multidisciplinary teams supporting the Federal Reserve System’s supervisory mandate. Before joining the Board in 2012, he was a director at Morgan Stanley. The FFIEC is the interagency body created to prescribe uniform principles and standards for the federal examination of financial institutions and to promote supervisory uniformity.
