This agenda centers around interacting with innovative, often technology-intensive financial-services companies and industries, helping to bridge the gap between their needs and financial regulations that may have been created before the new business models existed.

• Assists in drafting policy recommendations, and contributes extensively to the analysis of policy proposals, in consideration of DFS’s overall priorities and the commercial and policy landscape.
• Plans, manages, and participates in meetings, panel discussions, and round-table discussions to gather information on policy ideas in the financial-services area, and to communicate with DFS stakeholders, such as firms, other government agencies, and consumer groups.
• Directs and manages agency projects by conducting research, developing implementation strategies, providing oversight, implementing policies and procedures, and offering recommendations to program staff to resolve issues and ensure project timelines are met;
• Provides direction for projects by developing short- and long-term project goals and developing timelines for implementation;
• Performs research and analysis for assigned program areas and prepares reports and presentations for use by executive management;
• Supports the development and maintenance of partnerships with internal and external persons and entities and meets with outside stakeholders to discuss programs and projects;
• Provides briefings and status updates to executive staff and other parties;
• Works on projects and initiatives as requested by the Superintendent and executive staff;
• Monitors and evaluates news sources and social media to identify issues and challenges relevant to financial products and services in New York State;
