Move comes on the heels of arrival of new FHFA director
A couple of days after Sandra Thompson took the helm of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the new FHFA director has made several changes to her leadership team.
Thompson, who had served as deputy director of the agency’s division of housing mission and goals, has promoted long-time FHFA staff Naa Awaa Tagoe, Daniel Coates, and Danielle Walton.
Tagoe, previously the principal associate director in FHFA’s office of capital policy, will take on the new role of acting deputy director for the Division of Housing Mission and Goals (DHMG). Coates, a former senior associate director, will become a senior advisor in Thompson’s Office of the Director. Walton, director of stakeholder relations in FHFA’s Office of Congressional Affairs and Communications, has been elevated to acting chief of staff.
“I am pleased that Naa Awaa, Dan, and Danielle have agreed to take on these new positions. It is my goal to provide as many opportunities as possible to leverage the expertise of FHFA’s world-class staff as we execute on our important mission,” said FHFA acting director Sandra Thompson. “All three are experts in mortgage finance and share my dedication to ensuring that all Americans have equal access to safe, decent, and affordable housing.”
