WASHINGTON – Ann
F. Jaedicke has been named Deputy Comptroller for Compliance, succeeding David
G. Hammaker, who plans to retire from the OCC on November 30.
“Dave was a
true professional in every sense of the word and he will be greatly missed,”
said E. Wayne Rushton, Chief National Bank Examiner and Chairman of the OCC’s
Committee on Bank Supervision “However,
I am very pleased that we were able to find someone as qualified as Ann
Jaedicke to take his place. Ann has served the OCC very ably in a number of
challenging positions and she will bring a wealth of experience to this job.”
In her new
position, Ms. Jaedicke will oversee the OCC’s overall compliance program, with
responsibility for ensuring national bank compliance with a variety of consumer
protection programs, as well as such laws as the Bank Secrecy Act and the USA
Patriot Act.
Ms. Jaedicke
was commissioned as a national bank examiner in 1980, after being trained as
one of the OCC’s first compliance specialists. In her 26-year career at the
OCC, Ms. Jaedicke has examined banks of all sizes, including seriously troubled
institutions. Among other positions,
she has served as director of the OCC’s multinational bank supervision unit,
with oversight responsibility for supervision of the twelve largest national
banks, and as head of the OCC’s problem bank unit. Most recently, she directed
a comprehensive study that led to realignment of the agency’s district
structure, followed by a study of the headquarters structure, which is now
nearing completion. She is a graduate of Texas A&M University.
Mr. Hammaker
joined the OCC in 1975, after graduating from Pennsylvania State
University, and was commissioned as a National Bank Examiner in 1980. Over his
28-year career, he examined banks of all sizes prior to assuming leadership roles as a field manager in both
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and as Examiner-In-Charge of Mellon Bank N.A. and
PNC Bank N.A. He became Deputy Comptroller for Compliance in 1998.
