Chan named state's new top securities regulator

Advertiser Staff

Tung Chan, assistant general counsel with New York Life Insurance Co., has been named the state's new commissioner of securities.

Chan will oversee Hawai'i's securities law regulation, enforcement and education as well as registration of new businesses. Prior to joining New York Life she was an associate at the firm of Clearly, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton. Her background includes clerking for U.S. Federal District Court Judge David Ezra in 1996.

The post was vacant after former Commissioner of Securities Corinna Wong moved to the Mainland where her husband had accepted a position. Chan will begin work next Monday.
