“We are pleased that we will continue to profit from the expertise of Mohamed El-Erian, from his large global network and excellent knowledge of the macroeconomic conditions,” said Diekmann in a release.
PIMCO – a U.S.-based asset management subsidiary of Allianz – is reorganizing its leadership structure as a result of El-Erian’s resignation. PIMCO’s COO, Douglas Hodge, will step up as CEO, replacing El-Erian. Jay Jacobs, Managing Director and currently Global Head of Talent Management, has been named president and the founder of PIMCO, William H. Gross, will continue on as Chief Investment Officer.

“With this continuity we are well prepared for the future,” El-Erian released a statement through PIMCO thanking his colleagues, but has not indicated his future plans.”
