PIMCO Names El-Erian CEO
Will Assume Full Responsibility When Co-CEO Thompson Retires
September 5, 2008
PIMCO has named Mohamed El-Erian chief executive officer, a position he currently shares as co-CEO with Bill Thompson, who will be retiring at the end of the year.
El-Erian originally joined PIMCO in 1999 but left in 2006 to head up the endowment at Harvard University. Before joining PIMCO in 1999, El-Erian spent 15 years with the International Monetary Fund.
“I believe this is a particularly good time for a leadership transition at PIMCO because our firm has never been stronger or better positioned,” Thompson said.
