Rhea Kemble Dignam has been appointed the new director of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Atlanta regional office, according to a statement from the SEC. She replaces Katherine S. Addleman, who resigned at the end of September for a partnership with a Dallas law firm. William P. Hicks has been promoted from the office’s regional trial counsel to associate regional director for enforcement.

Dignam joins the SEC after retiring from Ernst & Young in July. She worked at the accounting firm for eight years, most recently as leader of its Americas division for law firm services, a position she originated. Before that, Dignam was a principal in the firm’s fraud investigation and dispute services practice, focusing on financial services and health sciences companies.
