The head of the whistleblower program at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) departed the agency Friday.
Christopher Ehrman had led the agency’s Whistleblower Office as director since 2013. He will be replaced by Christina McGlosson, the program’s associate director, on an interim basis.
“I am grateful to Chris for his dedication to public service here at the CFTC,” said Chairman Rostin Behnam in a press release. “The Whistleblower Office, the Division of Enforcement, and market participants have all benefited tremendously from his leadership, insight, and many contributions to the work of our agency.”
