Tracey McDermott

Tracey Elizabeth McDermott CBE was the acting chief executive of Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) till the 1st of July 2016.

She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to financial services consumers and markets.
