On December 13, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) announced that NYDFS Superintendent Adrienne A. Harris will serve as the state banking representative on the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC). According to the announcement, in 2013, Superintendent Harris joined the Obama Administration as a Senior Advisor in the U.S. Department of Treasury prior to being appointed as the Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. In this role, she managed the financial services portfolio, focusing on the implementation of Dodd-Frank, and developed strategies for financial reform, consumer protections, cybersecurity and housing finance reform. According to James M. Cooper, president and CEO of CSBS, Harris’s “background and experience at both the federal and state level will be an asset for the council as it manages emerging risk during a time of economic uncertainty.”
