The chief operating officer of billionaire Steve Tananbaum's $30 billion hedge fund GoldenTree Asset Management is out, sources tell Business Insider.
Bill Christian left the firm this year, sources said, after joining the firm in 2005. He was a partner as well as COO, according to his LinkedIn profile. Prior to working at GoldenTree, Christian was at MacKay Shields.
The firm declined to comment about his departure, and it was unclear from the hedge fund's website who replaced Christian in the COO role. Christian did not respond to a request for comment.
GoldenTree had another leadership shakeup last summer, though that one was disclosed in a statement from the firm, which also named who would fill the role.
Tananbaum's longtime president, Bob Matza, retired from his role, the firm announced in a press release, but would be sticking around in an advisory role and even keep an office at the asset manager.
In that May 7 release, Matza's successor, Christopher Hayward, was announced, and he has since been added to the firm's leadership page on its website.
