Chair Gensler statement on Planned Departure of Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga
Jaime Lizárraga has been such a dedicated public servant focused on the interests of working families for more than three decades. I’ve had the privilege of working with Jaime multiple times: here at the SEC, previously when we both worked on needed reforms coming out of the 2008 financial crisis, and all the way back when we first met working together at the US Department of Treasury. In each phase of his career, he has been steadfastly focused on elevating the interest of everyday Americans. At the SEC, he has been an excellent partner in our work to protect investors, facilitate capital formation, and ensure markets work for investors and issuers alike.
Jaime has been a wonderful colleague but more than that, a friend. I wish Kelly, Jaime, and their entire family the very best.
