The Stevens Center for Innovation in Finance will welcome Timothy Massad, former chairman of the CFTC, to Wharton for the first FinTech Lecture Series installment of the school year.
Timothy Massad is currently a research fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown Law School and a consultant on financial regulatory and fintech issues. He served as Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission from 2014-2017. Under his leadership, the agency implemented the Dodd Frank reforms of the over-the-counter swaps market and harmonized many aspects of cross-border regulation, including reaching a landmark agreement with the European Union on clearinghouse oversight. The agency also declared virtual currencies to be commodities, introduced reforms to address automated trading and strengthened cybersecurity protections.
