SEC Whistleblower Chief Quits

Nicole Creola Kelly left the SEC in March, reportedly having accepted the DOGE buyout offer.  The Office of the Whistleblower Chief had served in the position since November 2021.

She previously worked at the whistleblower office and served in other roles at the SEC, including as counsel to then-Chairman Mary Jo White and to then-Commissioner Kara Stein, as well as in the enforcement division’s complex financial instruments unit.

The SEC has not announced a replacement.
