OCC Announces Senior Personnel Changes

WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) today announced two senior personnel changes to support the evolution of the agency’s technology and information infrastructure and to elevate experienced supervisory leadership within our most complex portfolios.

Megan Crespi will join the OCC as Senior Deputy Comptroller (SDC) for Technology and Information Services. Additionally, Jennifer Crosthwaite, an acting Deputy Comptroller for Large and Global Financial Institutions (LGFI), will serve as acting SDC for LGFI upon the retirement of Greg Coleman.

As SDC for Technology and Information Services, Ms. Crespi will oversee the OCC’s information technology, information security, AI and data governance policies, procedures, and personnel.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening agency operations, Megan’s arrival will support our work to keep pace with an ever-evolving technology landscape while maintaining the highest levels of safety and security across our infrastructure and operations,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould. “She will add tremendous value as we look to integrate technology, including AI, into our day-to-day supervision of banks and evaluate the use of technology by the institutions we supervise.”

Prior to joining the OCC, Ms. Crespi served as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of a large financial institution. Her career also includes leading a Technology and Operations division. In that role, she oversaw a range of functions to include enterprise change and project management; technology; cyber security, physical security and resiliency; process transformation; customer contact centers; real estate strategy and facilities management; data, analytics and AI; and operations for commercial lending. She has also served as a Chief Technology Officer and consultant.

As acting SDC for LFGI, Ms. Crosthwaite will direct the supervision of the country’s OCC-regulated institutions with assets of over $500 billion and those institutions that have a foreign parent.

“Jennifer is widely recognized across the OCC for her ability to navigate complex supervisory challenges and for her dedication to the professional development of examination staff,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan V. Gould. “Her willingness to step into this position will help the OCC maintain continuity in experienced leadership for our largest regulated institutions as we continue advancing a risk-based approach to tailored supervision.”

Ms. Crosthwaite, who was named a Senior National Bank Examiner in October 2025, has made significant contributions in key roles across the Community Banks, Regional and Midsize Financial Institutions, and LGFI lines of business. She joined the OCC in 1984, initially conducting bank examinations in Southern California. Ms. Crosthwaite received her National Bank Examiner commission in 1988 and relocated to San Francisco where she served as the Capital Markets Team Lead, the Enterprise Risk Management Team Lead and the Examiner-in-Charge at several of the largest OCC-supervised institutions.
