SEC Taps FIF Vet Kimmel to Oversee CAT Implementation

US markets regulator the Securities and Exchange Commission has named Manisha Kimmel as a senior policy advisor for regulatory reporting, to coordinate the SEC’s oversight of the Consolidated Audit Trail.

She was most recently chief regulatory officer for wealth management at Refinitiv (formerly Thomson Reuters), which she joined in 2015 after 10 years at data industry association the Financial Information Forum, where she served as executive director and then managing director. Previously, she spent eight years as an industry consultant at Jordan & Jordan, and was a business strategy associate at ADP.

In addition, Kimmel has also served on the advisory committee for CAT NMS, and the SEC’s Equity Market Structure Advisory Committee.

In her new role, Kimmel reports to SEC chairman Jay Clayton. “Manisha knows the value of orderly, deep, and transparent markets to our investors and our country…. I am confident that her extensive experience and expertise in market data and regulatory reporting will further enhance the Commission’s ability to effectively oversee the SROs’ implementation of the CAT,” Clayton said in a statement.
