Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation said Chief Executive Diana Reid is departing and will no longer serve on the board.
The government-backed housing-finance entity, also known as Freddie Mac, said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Friday that Michael Hutchins would reprise his role as interim CEO, which he previously held from March to September of last year.
Diana Reid had started the CEO role in September. Hutchins, 69, has served as president since December 2020. He will serve as interim CEO until either the appointment of a permanent chief executive or June 20, whichever is earlier.
The switch was an order of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the conservator of Freddie Mac and its sister entity Fannie Mae.
The announcement follows Monday's shake-up of both Freddie Mac's and Fannie Mae's boards. Newly appointed FHFA Director William Pulte removed six members from Freddie Mac's board and appointed four new ones, including himself. Pulte is now set to serve as chairman of both entities' boards.
