Gorfine, who stepped into the role of LabCFTC director and chief innovation officer of the commission in July, brings experience in-house with a fintech company, as a professor of fintech law and as legal counsel for a think tank.

“I've had a very deep interest in the nexus of law, policy and financial markets for awhile,” Gorfine told Corporate Counsel in an interview earlier this month.
