The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has named Marc Berger, a former federal prosecutor who led high-profile probes of insider-trading probes, to head its New York regional office.
Berger, who has been in private practice since leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in 2014, will join the SEC in January, the agency said in a statement on Monday. During his time at SDNY, he supervised prosecutions as head of the office’s securities and commodities fraud task force, the SEC said.
