NYDFS

On January 21, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo nominated Maria Vullo to serve as the NYDFS’s superintendent. If approved by the New York State Senate, Vullo would replace former superintendent Benjamin Lawsky, who left the Department in June 2015. Governor Cuomo noted that Vullo is a “tough and fair litigator” who “has shown an immovable commitment to upholding the law and protecting consumers.” Vullo has worked in the private and public sectors, and has over 25 years of practice in business litigation and investigations. In 2010, Vullo also served under then AG Cuomo as Executive Deputy Attorney General for Economic Justice, handling various consumer protection, investor protection, and antitrust matters.
