Heath Tarbert, chairman and chief executive of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will step down from his post early next year.
“Leading the men and women of the CFTC these last 17 months has been an extraordinary privilege but, like all good things, it must come to an end. Today, I am announcing that I intend to resign my position as Chairman early next year,” he said in a statement released Thursday.
