Duncan Letchford, chief executive officer of Trafigura Pte Ltd.’s hedge fund Galena Asset Management, is leaving the company, the latest high-profile departure from the commodity trading house.
Letchford, who has served as a member of Trafigura’s management board since August 2012, is leaving to pursue other interests, a spokeswoman for the company confirmed in an e-mail. Letchford took over the role of Galena CEO in March 2014 from Jeremy Weir, who became CEO of Trafigura after co-founder Claude Dauphin was diagnosed with cancer. Dauphin died in September.
