After more than eighteen years at Citadel, Adam Cooper has made the decision to retire at the end of February 2017.

Ken Griffin thanked Adam for his leadership and counsel over the past 18 years, saying: “Adam has made many valuable contributions in helping build Citadel into one of the world’s leading financial institutions. I am grateful to Adam for his leadership on so many fronts and wish him the best over the years to come.”
