As a former Senior Trial Counsel at the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC), where he served for nine years, he led some of the most high-profile cases of the past decade — including litigation tied to figures featured in "The Big Short," the London Whale scandal, and the collapse of Dewey & LeBoeuf.

He publishes frequently in outlets such as the Financial Times, Barron's, and Bloomberg Law, and is a trusted source for the New York Times, CNN, and others. He has lectured across the United States, Europe, and Asia on topics including accounting fraud, securities enforcement, and the lasting effects of the financial crisis.
