Goldman Sachs Group's chairman and chief executive for the Asia-Pacific region excluding Japan is set to retire, according to media reports.
Ken Hitchner, CEO of Goldman Sachs for Asia-Pacific, is retiring from the U.S. bank, according to a Reuters, which quoted a person familiar with the matter on Tuesday. He will continue in his role, which is based in Hong Kong, until mid-2019, the person added.
Previously a pilot in the U.S. Navy, Hitchner joined Goldman Sachs in 1991. He was then appointed as the bank’s president for Asia Pacific excluding Japan, in 2013 and was named the region’s chairman and chief executive officer two years ago.
Goldman Sachs has declined to comment.
