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.",
