Iron Road Partners hires former SEC enforcement official and hedge fund CCO James McGovern
Regulatory consultancy Iron Road Partners has hired James "Jim" McGovern as managing director, adding a former US Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement official with extensive experience running compliance functions at hedge fund managers.
Regulatory consultancy Iron Road Partners has bolstered its roster and expertise by hiring James "Jim" McGovern, a former US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement official and hedge fund Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). McGovern brings extensive experience in compliance functions at hedge fund firms, most notably as general counsel and CCO at Candlestick Capital Management.
Prior to Candlestick, he served as an assistant director in the SEC's Asset Management Unit, the agency's specialist enforcement group for the investment management industry. Iron Road Partners sees McGovern's addition as a strategic move to strengthen two key areas of their business: the firm's roster of former senior SEC officials and their ability to advise hedge funds on increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
McGovern holds a Juris Doctorate from Boston College Law School and a Bachelor of Arts from Boston College.
