“Paul’s extensive experience and knowledge of investor needs, and understanding of how the Commission and its staff operate, will be tremendous assets to the agency during a critical period of change and evolution in the investment management industry,” Blass said in a statement. “He is committed to advancing the SEC’s regulatory priorities in a thoughtful and strategic way, in order to promote the long-term interests of investors.”

Cellupica had previously served with the SEC between 1996 and 2004 in various capacities with the division of investment management and the division of enforcement, including a position as assistant director in the division of investment management from 2001 to 2004.
