Christopher Haspel, who left Ginnie Mae for the CFPB, is expected to be named to a top post at the new agency. Most likely to head servicing or securitization according to American Banker, Haspel previously worked with Raj Date–the other CFPB head candidate being looked at by the Obama administration.

Haspel’s chief tie to the new bureau is Raj Date, a top lieutenant to its de facto head Elizabeth Warren. Date worked with Haspel at Capital One Financial Corp. During his career, which started in the early 1990s, Haspel has also worked at companies including BlackRock Financial, GE Financial Services and Fannie Mae. He left Fannie in 2005, three years before its implosion.
