Today I'm giving my first speech as FINRA's Chairman and CEO—and I can't think of a better audience for the occasion, although all of us wish the economic circumstances of the occasion were quite different. The fact that you are here speaks volumes about your commitment to build the most effective control environment possible at your firms.
Chairman Kanjorski, Ranking Member Garrett and Members of the Subcommittee: I am Steve Luparello and I currently serve as Interim CEO of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. On behalf of FINRA, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to testify today.
Chairman Dodd, Ranking Member Shelby and Members of the Committee: I am Steve Luparello and I currently serve as Interim CEO of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA. On behalf of FINRA, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to testify today.
Thank you, Mr. President-elect, I'm honored and humbled to be considered for this position.
Thank you, Bill [Press], and good morning, everyone. It's great to be here with you.
Thank you for that kind introduction, Dean Johnson. I am afraid that the Road Ahead in Regulation may have changed in just the time we have been sitting here.
Good Morning. Thank you so much for being here with us today. I hope you will find the next two days to be a productive use of your time and that you will leave with valuable information and perhaps even some new friendships.
