WASHINGTON — Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Michael S. Selig today announced Alex Titus as Chief Advisor to the Chairman.

“I am thrilled to welcome Alex to the Commission as my Chief Advisor,” said Chairman Selig. “Alex is a seasoned professional with deep expertise in economic and financial policy. He brings to the Commission a wealth of experience working with stakeholders throughout President Trump’s administration on a wide range of issues from his prior perch at the White House. He will be a huge asset to the Commission as it works together with the White House to ensure that the innovations of tomorrow are Made in America.”

“I am excited to join Chairman Selig and the incredible team that he’s building at the CFTC,” Titus said. “I look forward to supporting his mission to usher in a Golden Age for America’s financial markets and create rules of the road for exciting new financial instruments.” 

Titus joins the CFTC after serving as Chief of Staff at the White House Council of Economic Advisers under Chairman Stephen Miran and Acting Chairman Pierre Yared. At CEA, Titus played a pivotal role in President Trump’s efforts to rebalance the global trading system, pass historic tax legislation through the One Big Beautiful Bill, and advance one of the most aggressive deregulatory agendas in history.

Before CEA, Titus led a nationwide talent network preparing individuals for public service, served in the first Trump Administration, and was Policy Advisor at President Trump’s political group, America First Action. He has held fellowships with The Public Interest Fellowship, Observer Research Foundation, and Claremont Institute.

Titus received his B.S. in Economics from the University of Oregon.
