On February 28, 2024, the SEC announced the appointment of Natasha Vij Greiner as the new Director of the Division of Investment Management. Greiner, the former Deputy Director of the SEC’s Division of Examinations, replaced William Birdthistle following his departure from the SEC on March 8, 2024. “Natasha brings deep and broad expertise to the Division, both having led the agency’s Investment Adviser/Investment Company examination program and having served in other key leadership roles over her more than two decades at the SEC,” said SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Simpson Thacher Partner David Blass, who worked closely with Ms. Greiner while he was at the SEC, said “Natasha is smart and highly capable. She has extensive experience across the SEC—policy, examination, and enforcement roles. We should expect her to be a no-nonsense, but fair and well-informed head of the Division of Investment Management.”
