Garrett will oversee the enforcement division pending the completion of a global recruitment exercise to replace Mark Steward who will leave the SFC to take up a similar position with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
Garrett joined the legal services division of the SFC in 1999. She had experience leading the SFC’s enforcement litigation work in Hong Kong’s courts and tribunals and had worked closely with the enforcement division for many years, said SFC in a statement.
Her predecessor, Mark Steward, will be leaving the position this week.
