"John brings a depth of expertise and understanding of the regulatory challenges facing Clearing House owner banks," said Paul Saltzman, president of the Clearing House. "His understanding of key commercial bank legislation and experience working with federal regulators will be valuable to The Clearing House's advocacy efforts and its commitment to provide thought leadership and technical expertise on banking regulation."
