FDIC appoints director of new office of professional conduct

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has announced the appointment of Hansel J. Cordeiro as director of the agency’s new Office of Professional Conduct (OPC).

In June, the FDIC’s board of directors announced the creation of the OPC to serve as a single point of entry for employee complaints of harassment and other interpersonal misconduct.

In his new role Cordeiro will lead the OPC’s work to receive, investigate and report on complaints of interpersonal misconduct within the FDIC workplace. OPC will also determine and discipline anyone violating the FDIC’s anti-harassment or anti-retaliation policies.

Cordeiro will report on the work of the OPC directly to the FDIC board.

Cordeiro joins the FDIC from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) where he served as executive director of accountability and strategic business management. He led the FAA’s anti-harassment programme and oversaw anti-harassment training for over 45,000 FAA employees.

Prior to his role at FAA, Cordeiro served at the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in various executive and leadership positions. He also worked in the Office of General Counsel as a principal legal advisor to several secretaries of veterans affairs on employment and labour law issues.
