Christy Goldsmith Romero told senators Thursday she would implement a “complete overhaul” of the way the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation manages its employees and responds to complaints if she is confirmed to lead the agency.
President Joe Biden last month nominated Romero, a member of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, to replace embattled FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg. If confirmed, she would take over following an independent investigation that found the FDIC failed to protect its staff from sexual harassment, discrimination and other interpersonal misconduct.
“I would prioritize a complete overhaul of the FDIC’s workplace culture,” Romero said at a Senate Banking Committee hearing.
