The Federal Reserve plans to appoint Wall Street bank lawyer Quinn as Director of Regulatory Affairs

Deep Tide TechFlow News, February 13 — According to Jinshi Data, two informed sources revealed that the Federal Reserve is expected to appoint Randall Guynn as the new Director of Supervision. This seasoned Wall Street professional with deep ties to the banking industry will oversee industry regulation. Guynn previously served as a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, representing several major U.S. banks. He will succeed Michael Gibson, who announced his retirement in July last year after more than thirty years at the Federal Reserve. Since May 2025, Guynn has been serving as an advisor to Board Member and Vice Chair for Supervision Bowman. According to sources, Guynn’s appointment still requires a vote by the seven-member Federal Reserve Board. The specific timing of this closed-door vote has not yet been determined. After taking office, he will continue to report to Bowman. Choosing Guynn as Director of Supervision will mark a significant shift in the Federal Reserve’s personnel arrangements, as this position has been held by long-serving internal staff since at least 1977.
