The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has announced the appointment of industry veterans Thaya Knight and Lydia Mashburn to its leadership team.
Knight brings 17 years of experience to her new role as senior counsel for policy and regulation. She joined FHFA from the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), where she served as counsel to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and managed the commissioner’s corporation finance portfolio.
