Peter Driscoll
Daniel Kahl will lead the division as acting director upon Driscoll’s exit.
Driscoll, a 2017 Compliance Week Top Minds honoree, has been with the SEC since 2001. In 2017, he took over as head of the then-Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE), where he was a vocal supporter of empowering the chief compliance officer at the organization level. The OCIE was renamed the Division of Examinations in December, and Driscoll stayed on as its leader.
Driscoll also previously served as the division’s first chief risk and strategy officer.
“It has been a great honor and the highlight of my career to have led the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations and serve as the first-ever Director of the Division of Examinations,” said Driscoll in a press release. “I am incredibly humbled to have had the opportunity to work alongside the talented staff of the Division in our mission to protect investors and maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets.”
