Eric Lane, the co-head of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s asset-management business, is quitting the firm to join Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management, just a day after news that a pair of senior consumer bankers are leaving the lender for a fintech startup.
Lane is departing less than six months after taking over Goldman’s newly expanded asset-management business along with Julian Salisbury, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg. The 25-year veteran of Goldman Sachs and a member of its most important decision-making body will join investment firm Tiger Global later this year as president and chief operating officer, according to a letter to investors Monday.
