Regulatory consultancy Iron Road Partners has hired James “Jim” McGovern as managing director, adding a former US Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement official with hedge fund compliance experience, according to Hedgeweek.

McGovern joined after nine years at the SEC’s Division of Enforcement, where he ultimately served as an assistant director in the Asset Management Unit, the agency’s specialist enforcement group covering the investment management industry.

He later moved into senior legal and compliance roles at hedge fund firms, most recently serving as general counsel and chief compliance officer at Candlestick Capital Management. Hedgeweek also reported that he previously held similar responsibilities at Mason Capital Management and served as chief compliance officer at Hutchin Hill Capital.

Iron Road Partners said the appointment is intended to strengthen two parts of its business, its roster of former senior SEC officials and its hedge fund advisory expertise, with McGovern’s enforcement background and prior CCO experience expected to support managers navigating increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
