NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, June 13 (Reuters) - The U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday named several new

division directors, as Chairman Paul Atkins begins to build his

team at the top U.S. markets regulator.

The SEC tapped Jamie Selway to lead the agency's Trading and

Markets division, effective June 17, and Brian Daly, a lawyer

from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in New York, to run the

Investment Management division, according to statements from the

regulator.

Kurt Hohl, founder of an advisory firm for issues

including auditing, compliance and initial public offerings, has

been named as Chief Accountant, effective July 7, the SEC said.

Atkins, who was nominated by Republican President Donald

Trump, arrived in April at the SEC, where he is expected to

oversee a deregulatory push.

Selway is a longtime market structure and investment

technology expert. Reuters previously reported he had been

tapped for the role.

While at Akin, Daly advised private equity, hedge fund and

venture capital fund managers, according to the law firm's

website. He is slated to join the SEC July 8.
