Citi Alternative Investments has named Jeffrey Gould to the newly-created role of global head of distribution. Gould joins the firm from quantitative hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, where he served as president of institutional management for two years.

Prior to his stint at Renaissance, Gould was with mutual fund firm Putnam Investments for 17 years.

Earlier this month, the unit also added Don Callahan, who before joining Citi was with Credit Suisse.

CAI is the alternative investment unit of Citi. The group, which is led by Vikram Pandit, manages products across five asset classes including private equity, hedge funds, real estate, structured products and infrastructure.
