Callan Joins Credit Suisse As Head of Hedge Funds
Erin Callan, who was recently ousted from her position as Lehman Brothers chief financial officer, will begin a new role as head of Credit Suisse's global hedge fund business on Sept. 2. Callan will also join Credit Suisse's investment bank management and global client steering committees.
She spent 13 years at Lehman and was named CFO of the firm as recently as Dec. 1. She was also head of the global hedge fund coverage division. She will work in Credit Suisse's New York office and closely collaborate with the prime services, financial institutions and global markets solutions groups.
Rob Shafir, chief executive of Credit Suisse Asset Management and CEO of the firm's Americas regional operations, said: "Erin will help us take full advantage of this key market segment as we move to rapidly extend our gains with hedge funds, building on our strong position with this high-opportunity client group." Shafir came on board Credit Suisse in August 2007 after spending 17 years at Lehman, most recently as head of equities.
On June 12, Lehman announced Callan would be replaced as CFO by Ian Lowitt, most recently co-chief administrative officer, and would rejoin the firm's investment banking division in a senior capacity. Before joining Lehman in 1995, Callan worked at Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett. She became the first woman to serve on Lehman's executive committee.
