SEC names Rhea Dignam to Atlanta post
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Rhea Kemble Dignam next month will become the Atlanta-based regional chief for the Securities and Exchange Commission .
Dignam, who most recently had been leader of law services for the Americas at Ernst & Young, will oversee the office's “enforcement and examination activities” for the five-state region of the Southeast, according to a statement by the SEC.
She succeeds Katherine (Kit) Addleman, who left the agency to return to private practice.
A graduate of Wellesley College in 1969, the same class as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Dignam went on to receive a degree from Harvard Law School.
She served for a dozen years in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and for several years as a prosecutor in the office of the Kings County (N.Y.) district attorney.
She later worked for the New York City Comptroller and then for the New York Life Insurance Co. before coming to Ernst & Young, where she worked for eight years.
