Harris stepping down as New York’s banking regulator
Adrienne Harris is stepping down as Superintendent of New York’s Department of Financial Services.
Kaitlin Asrow was appointed acting superintendent, effective Oct. 18.
Harris, who has held her role since August 2021, did not outline her future plans.
“It has been a privilege and an honor to serve New Yorkers, delivering positive outcomes for consumers; cementing DFS as a global regulatory leader; and transforming the Department’s operations,” Harris said in a press release.
Asrow, who is Executive Deputy Superintendent of the Research & Innovation division, joined the department four years ago after serving as a senior policy adviser at the Federal Reserve.
