Two Sigma executive Seth Platt to exit amid founders' dispute

Hedgeweek reports, citing Bloomberg, that Two Sigma's Seth Platt will leave the $85bn hedge fund amid a prolonged governance dispute between co-founders David Siegel and John Overdeck. Platt, Siegel's representative on the two-person management committee, has requested a replacement and will depart once a successor is appointed. The report says Siegel and Overdeck stepped down as co-chief executives in 2024 after years of tensions disclosed as a material risk in a 2023 regulatory filing.
