A new chief executive at your regulator is not a routine appointment. It is a reset. They will want to make their mark, and they will do it through enforcement priorities, the relationships they choose to build, and the tone they set with industry in the first few months. If you are not paying attention now, you will be reacting when it matters most.
This checklist tells you what to do over the next two weeks, which signals to monitor over the next 90 days, and the three questions you should ask your compliance team on Monday morning. It is the kind of practical, specific guidance that does not appear in regulatory announcements or trade press; it comes from twenty years of watching how these transitions actually play out.
