Mary L. Schapiro is Vice Chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and Vice Chair of Global Public Policy at Bloomberg L.P., where she oversees Bloomberg’s public policy and regulatory priorities globally and serves as Special Advisor to the Founder and Chairman.

Schapiro has over 30 years of public service experience, having served under four U.S. presidents from both political parties in senior financial regulatory roles. From 2009 to 2012, Schapiro served as the 29th Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) – the first woman to hold the role – where she led the agency through post-crisis reforms and one of its most active rulemaking periods. She previously served as Chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and as CEO and Chair of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), making her the only person to have led all three major U.S. financial regulatory bodies.

Schapiro led the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) from its inception until its remit was fulfilled in 2023. The initiative’s work culminated in the adoption of the ISSB Standards as the global baseline for climate-related reporting. She currently chairs the Climate Data Steering Committee and the Global Capacity Building Coalition, helping build institutional capacity in emerging and developing markets to support sustainable finance.

She serves on the boards of Morgan Stanley, CVS Health, Franklin & Marshall College, and the Humane Rescue Alliance, a D.C.-based organization and local champion for all animals. A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Schapiro holds a J.D. from George Washington University Law School and a B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College.
