Goldman's Asia-Pacific CEO Ken Hitchner to retire

Goldman Sachs Group's chairman and chief executive officer Ken Hitchner for the Asia-Pacific region outside Japan, is retiring after almost three decades with the firm, according to a report.

Hitchner will continue in his Hong Kong-based role until mid-2019. He moved to Asia almost six years ago and was promoted to his current position in September 2017.  

A former US Navy pilot, Hitchner joined Goldman in 1991 and has served as global head of the healthcare banking group and global co-head of technology, media, and telecoms.
