Tudor Investment Corporation's chief technology officer is retiring after 25 years at the firm.
Miriam Roiter, the CTO at the hedge fund since 2016 and a member of Tudor's operating committee, is stepping away from the firm, according to sources familiar with the matter.
A Tudor representative declined to comment.
Roiter has spent most of her career managing the tech and data evolution at Tudor, the $8.7 billion fund managed by billionaire Paul Tudor Jones that employs both discretionary and quantitative strategies.
She's among a minority of women who hold top technology executive positions at major American corporations. Just 18% of CIO and CTO jobs at the top 1,000 public and private companies by revenue were helmed by women, according to a 2019 study by Korn Ferry.
Financial services led the way as an industry, with women holding 25% of the top technology roles.
Roiter joined the firm in 1996 as director of IT Financial Data, according to her LinkedIn bio, and held several technology leadership roles before landing the CTO appointment.
She's the first woman to hold the title at the firm.
Prior to joining Tudor, Roiter worked as programmer analyst for the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
