The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday announced that Monique Winkler, who joined the agency’s San Francisco regional office in 2008 as a staff attorney, has been named the associate regional director for enforcement in the office.

Winkler, whose resume includes work as an associate on both the plaintiffs’ and defense side of the private securities bar, succeeds former office enforcement chief Erin Schneider, who was tapped to lead the San Francisco SEC office as regional director in May. Winkler has served the office as assistant regional director since 2015.
