Luis Aguilar, NACD.DC

Director

Luis A. Aguilar served as a Commissioner at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from July 31, 2008 to December 31, 2015. Currently he serves on the Boards of Directors of the following companies: Envestnet, Inc. (NYSE: ENV), a leading provider of unified wealth management technology; and Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DFIN), a financial communications and data services company serving the investment and capital markets worldwide. He is also on the Board of Advisors of Personal Capital Corporation, an asset management firm using online financial tools to combine transparency into customer finances with personal attention from financial advisors.

Commissioner Aguilar is also a partner in Falcon Cyber Investments, a firm focused on Cybersecurity Investments.

Commissioner Aguilar was originally appointed by President George W. Bush and was reappointed by President Barack Obama in 2011. Commissioner Aguilar became the eighth longest-serving Commissioner in SEC history and is one of only three Commissioners to have been nominated by two U.S. Presidents from two different political parties.

Commissioner Aguilar’s tenure started only a few weeks before the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the financial turmoil that followed and only a few months before one of the largest financial frauds in U. S. history - the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme - was exposed. Consequently, the Commission began one of the most transformational periods in its history. During Commissioner Aguilar’s service, the Commission underwent a significant internal restructuring by, among other things, creating several new Divisions and Offices, and substantially restructuring others. In addition, the Commission entered one of its most active rulemaking periods and promulgated or amended regulations that impacted almost all aspects of the capital markets.

Prior to his appointment to the SEC Commission, Mr. Aguilar was active in both business and law. His law practice involved matters pertaining to general corporate and business law, international transactions, investment companies and investment advisers, securities law, and corporate finance. He also focused on issues related to corporate governance, public and private offerings (IPOs and secondary offerings), mergers and acquisitions, mutual funds, investment advisers, broker-dealers, and other aspects of federal and state securities laws and regulations.

Commissioner Aguilar’s previous experience includes serving as the general counsel, head of compliance, executive vice president, and corporate secretary of Invesco, with responsibility for all legal and compliance matters regarding Invesco Institutional. In addition, he was also Invesco’s Managing Director for Latin America in the 1990’s, and president of one of Invesco’s broker-dealers. His career includes tenure as a partner at the following prominent national law firms: McKenna Long & Aldridge, LLP (subsequently merged with Dentons US LLP); Alston & Bird LLP; Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP; and Powell Goldstein Frazer & Murphy LLP (subsequently merged with Bryan Cave LLP). He began his legal career as an attorney at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
