Former Schonfeld Strategic Advisors head of human capital management, Jennifer Cohen, has been announced as joining the $38 billion hedge fund Point72.
Cohen will start her new role as the Stamford, Connecticut-based firm’s chief human resources officer in January 2026.
The new acquisition was revealed via a memo sent out by Point72 Chief Operating Officer Gavin O’Connor.
“Jenn will play a pivotal role in advancing our human resources strategy, focusing on enhancing talent management, supporting organizational growth, and reinforcing our culture of excellence,” he said. “She is uniquely positioned to lead these efforts, bringing a data-centric and process-oriented approach honed over 25 years of experience across business operations and human capital.”
Before prior to her tenure at Schonfeld, Cohen worked at the private equity firm Global Atlantic and Goldman Sachs.
Point72 represents a large step-up for Cohen, which boasts over 2,900 employees; in contrast, Schonfeld had 872 employees as of May 12.
