(HedgeCo.Net) The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced SEC Chief Operating Officer Jeffery Heslop will leave the agency this month. Mr. Heslop joined the SEC in 2010 when he was named the SEC\u2019s first-ever COO. In the nearly seven years since joining the SEC, Mr. Heslop has led significant innovation in the agency\u2019s approach to human capital management, business process, internal controls, and technology infrastructure. Through his efforts, the agency has realized substantial operational cost reductions, increased efficiencies in staffing and operations, and strengthened the cooperation between various SEC offices and divisions.<\/p>\n

During his time at the SEC, Mr. Heslop:<\/p>\n
Led a team that significantly improved internal controls and compliance in financial management and information security, and eliminated persistent conditions of material weakness.
\nDeveloped and implemented a strategy to rehabilitate outdated technology infrastructure and organizational business process approaches to deliver dramatic improvements in customer satisfaction.
\nChampioned the investment in, and oversaw the execution of, numerous business process redesign initiatives to move several SEC processes from manually-intensive, paper-based approaches to efficient, automated processes resulting in the realization of compelling cost reductions and enhanced employee productivity.
\n\u201cAs the SEC\u2019s first COO, Jeff helped the agency streamline operations and leverage resources to more effectively serve the investors and markets,\u201d said SEC Acting Chairman Michael Piwowar. \u201cHe has overseen significant improvements in technology and has helped ensure that our financial reporting controls and FOIA operations are top-notch.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been a true honor to serve with the extraordinarily dedicated and self-sacrificing professionals who comprise the agency\u2019s staff,\u201d said SEC COO Jeffery Heslop. \u201cIn particular, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the staff members from the offices under the Office of the Chief Operating Officer, who, through their collaborative effort, have played an instrumental role in an effort to modernize the agency\u2019s human capital, business process, and technological capabilities. Their contribution to the SEC\u2019s unwavering and deep commitment to protect America\u2019s investors has been simply remarkable, and I am deeply grateful to have had the privilege of leading them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
