Through my years in public service at the
@CFTC (2009-2013) and
@SECGov (2024-2025) and in between, I've gotten to know many commissioners.
@HesterPeirce stands out for her intense intellectual curiosity and openness to different perspectives - including mine. Though Commissioner Peirce and I had very different regulatory philosophies, I was surprised how often I agreed with her. Even when I didn't, her views were principled, well-articulated, and I respected them.
Hester's contributions to financial markets will far outlast her public service tenure and, zero doubt, she'll continue to contribute to them in her future endeavors.
@HesterPeirce best of luck in the next chapter in your professional life!
