Holly Vedova, the top competition official at the Federal Trade Commission, is said to be retiring after more than 30 years with the regulator.
Vedova, the director of the FTC's Bureau of Competition, announced her resignation this week without giving a date for when she plans to leave, according to a Bloomberg report, which cited people familiar.
Separately, Christine S. Wilson, the only Republican commissioner at the FTC, announced she would be resigning on March 31 in a letter to President Joe Biden on Thursday.
Vedova's exit means that FTC Chair Lina Khan, who has taken a tough stance on antitrust matters and is especially focused on big tech like Amazon (AMZN) and Meta (META), can find a replacement that may have a similar approach. 
Vedova's exit also comes after Wilson said she planned to resign from the regulator last month in a WSJ op-ed piece
"In 2018, when I was sworn in as Commissioner, it felt like coming home after a long journey abroad," Wilson wrote in the letter to Biden. "But now, I barely recognize the FTC. It pains me to observe the tarnishing of its reputation, the diminution of its efficacy, and the exodus of its experienced personnel, many of whom agree with the policy goals of Ms. Khan and your administration."
The FTC last Friday gave up in its fight against Meta's (META) push to take over a popular virtual-reality start-up, voting to withdraw the complaint challenging Meta's $400M acquisition of Within Unlimited after a federal judge ruled against the FTC last month.
