(NY Times) The veteran deal maker James C. Woolery has left Hudson Executive Capital, the activist hedge fund he co-founded, the firm said on Monday. In a statement, the firm said that Mr. Woolery had resigned “due to personal reasons.” It added, “We are grateful for the help that Jim provided in the successful launch of the firm, and wish him well in all his future endeavors.”
The move signals the latest changeup in the career of Mr. Woolery, 47, a longtime adviser on big transactions. He began his career at the law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore before decamping to JPMorgan Chase in 2011 to become a co-head of the bank’s North American mergers practice.
