The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has announced that Victoria Nahrwold has been named Deputy Director, Division of Enterprise Regulation (DER).
The FHFA’s Division of Enterprise Regulation provides management oversight, direction, and support for all examination activity involving the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), the development of supervision findings, and preparation of the annual reports of examination. The DER monitors and assesses the financial condition and performance of the GSEs and their compliance with regulations through annual on-site examinations and periodic visits. An Examiner-in-Charge leads examination activity at each GSE. Examination teams will expand further as DER continues to build towards a post-conservatorship future.
“Victoria Nahrwold brings an immense depth of experience in supervision and examination, risk management and regulatory compliance that will be a valuable asset to the FHFA leadership team,” said FHFA Director Sandra L. Thompson. “I am pleased that Victoria will be leading this outstanding division and our team of DER examiners. Victoria’s experience at NCUA has prepared her well for this position and I look forward to working with her.”
Nahrwold has about 25 years of experience with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), where she has served in various capacities related to financial institution supervision. In her current role as Associate Director, Office of Examination and Insurance, she has consistently exhibited exceptional leadership in directing a team tasked with developing and executing examination and supervision policies for a diverse array of financial institutions. Her comprehensive expertise in capital, operations, payments, investments, risk management, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, loans (including secondary market activities) and regulatory compliance has notably enhanced NCUA’s supervision capabilities.
Nahrwold has successfully overseen high-priority projects, including congressional responses, rulemakings, and industry training programs. She has offered invaluable guidance on complex risk management and capital markets topics, representing NCUA on key committees such as the Task Force on Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity (PAVE), and Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Appraisal Subcommittee (ASC). With more than 20 years as a federal financial institutions regulator and a demonstrated track record of leading people, leading change, driving results, strong business acumen, and building coalitions, Nahrwold will be an asset to the FHFA.
