The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that Antonia M. Apps, Deputy Director of the Division of Enforcement (Northeast), will conclude her tenure with the agency effective Dec. 1, 2025. […]
Ms. Apps served as Regional Director of the New York Regional Office from January 2023 through January 2025. In this role, she oversaw an office of over 600 attorneys, accountants, investigators, securities compliance examiners and others, and led the examination and enforcement programs for the New York region. Under Ms. Apps’ leadership, the New York Office brought more stand-alone enforcement actions and completed more examinations than any other office in the country, and hired more staff in a two-year period than were hired in any previous two-year period in the history of the New York office. With her support, the New York office also engaged in more investor education and outreach events than ever before.
In January 2025, Ms. Apps was appointed Acting Deputy Director of the Division of Enforcement and, subsequently, Deputy Director of Enforcement (Northeast), helping to lead the Division of Enforcement on a national level.
Before joining the SEC as Regional Director in 2023, Ms. Apps was a litigation partner at Milbank LLP, where she represented clients in high-stakes criminal, regulatory, and complex civil matters. She previously served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Criminal Division of the Southern District of New York, where she investigated and prosecuted high-profile securities fraud and other white-collar cases.
