Jonathan V. Gould

Partner,, Jones Day

Before joining Jones Day, Jonathan served as the Senior Deputy Comptroller and Chief Counsel of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). He oversaw all of the agency’s legal and licensing activities, including legal advisory services to banks and examiners, enforcement, litigation, agency administrative matters, legislative initiatives, the chartering of new banks, and changes in structure and activities of existing banks.

Jonathan led the OCC’s legal and licensing teams through a transformational period in which the agency revised its regulatory and licensing frameworks to reflect an evolution in banking. These efforts included a significant rewrite of banking regulation, including implementation of the Economic Growth Act, reforms to the Volcker and swap margin rules, capital and liquidity changes, issuance of the Madden rule, and expansion of bank powers. Under his direction, the OCC chartered the first fintech and crypto banks; recognized crypto-related activities as permissible; brought the largest enforcement actions in agency history; managed through the March 2020 financial crisis; and defended the agency’s actions before Congress and in court.

He also brings private sector experience in risk management and regulatory consulting across the financial services and technology industries, having served in corporate counsel or consulting roles at BlackRock, Promontory Financial Group, and Bitfury.
