Gary Gensler, a former head of the U.S.’s main derivatives regulator, is President-elect Joe Biden’s likely pick to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to two people familiar with the matter.
If nominated by Biden to be SEC chairman and confirmed by the Senate, Gensler would be the new government’s front-line regulator for Wall Street and the arbiter of what public companies must disclose to their investors. While Gensler is seen as the leading candidate, a final decision hasn’t yet been made, said one person, who asked not to be named before a public announcement.
A spokesperson for Biden’s transition declined to comment on Gensler’s potential selection, which was earlier reported by Reuters.
