WASHINGTON, D.C. -

Just ahead of when it rolled past five years of operation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau made three leadership changes involving the associate director for supervision, enforcement, and fair lending; the principal deputy general counsel; and the deputy chief operating officer.

“I am very pleased to announce the changes to senior leadership positions at the bureau,” CFPB director Richard Cordray said. “These leaders have played important roles in fulfilling the CFPB’s mission to protect consumers, and I am looking forward to continuing to work alongside them here at the bureau.”

Here are details about the three moves:

—Chris D’Angelo will serve as the CFPB’s associate director for supervision, enforcement and fair lending.  D’Angelo is currently the bureau’s chief of staff.  He joined the CFPB in June 2011 and previously served as senior advisor to the director and as an attorney in the Office of Enforcement. 

D’Angelo came to the bureau from the U.S. Treasury Department, where he was senior advisor to the undersecretary for domestic finance and worked on financial regulation. 

Before entering public service, D’Angelo worked as an associate at Cravath, Swaine and Moore in New York and later at Williams & Connolly in Washington, D.C. 

—Richard Lepley will serve as the CFPB’s principal deputy general counsel in the office of the general counsel in the legal division. For the past five years, Lepley has worked as the deputy general counsel for general law, ethics and oversight at the CFPB.

Prior to joining the bureau in 2010, Lepley was the acting assistant general counsel for general law and ethics at the U.S. Treasury Department, working on draft legislation that became the Consumer Financial Protection Act.

Before working at the Department of Treasury, Lepley spent more than two decades as a litigator and manager in the federal programs branch of the civil division at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Prior to working in government, Lepley was an associate at Fulbright and Jaworski.

—Nellisha Ramdass will serve as the CFPB’s deputy chief operating officer. Previously, he was in charge of team operations in the office of technology and innovation including serving as the acting deputy chief information officer.

Prior to joining the bureau, Ramdass worked as a senior adviser to the chief operating officer of federal student aid at the Department of Education. Before that, he was a senior contracting officer at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
