The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau has named the agency’s erstwhile chief of staff Leandra English as the new Deputy Director of the CFPB.
Acting Deputy Director David Silberman will continue as associate director of the Research, Markets, and Regulations division.
Outgoing CFPB Director Richard Cordray, who earlier this month announced his departure from the agency at the end of this month, said:
“Leandra is a seasoned professional who has spent her career of public service focused on promoting smooth and efficient operations. As deputy director, we will continue to benefit from Leandra’s in-depth knowledge of the operational needs of this agency and its staff. I would like to thank David Silberman for taking on the additional role of acting deputy director during a busy time and appreciate his continued service as associate director of Research, Markets, and Regulations.”
English holds an M.S. degree from the highly reputed London School of Economics.
