The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has announced that Steve Antonakes will serve as acting deputy director while the agency continues its search for a replacement for Raj Date, who formally left the agency yesterday.
Antonakes will still maintain responsibility for his current duties as the associate director of supervision, enforcement and fair lending. Antonakes joined the CFPB in November 2010 as the assistant director of large bank supervision and was named to his current position in June 2012. Before joining the CFPB, he was the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks from December 2003 to November 2010.
