Phyllis Borzi's right hand man at the Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration, Michael Davis, has left his post as deputy assistant secretary of EBSA and joined Prudential Retirement to serve as head of its stable value business.
Davis, who started his post on Monday, told AdvisorOne in an interview the same day that while it was an "extraordinary honor" to have worked with such a "high-caliber" team at EBSA, four years ago when he took his job as part of the Obama administration, "I always said it would be one term."
Davis said he will be commuting for a short time from Washington to his new post at Prudential in New Jersey. Before joining EBSA, Davis was managing director and head of the west region institutional client group for JPMorgan Asset Management. "The private sector is what I know," Davis told AdvisorOne, and "it's a key part of who I am."
