FINRA's New Head of Dispute Resolution Search Narrows

With the retirement of Linda Fienberg, Reuters is reporting that FINRA has narrowed its search for a new head of its arbitration unit to two of its own long-time officials, according to a person familiar with the matter. FINRA, Wall Street's industry-funded watchdog, will replace the retiring chief of its arbitration unit with either Richard Berry,the unit's director of case administration, or Kenneth Andrichik, its mediation director.

We have had extensive dealings with both gentlemen, and are sure that both will be excellent in that role.
