Thomas Lee resigns

Thomas Lee plans to leave the $12bn (€10.1bn) private equity firm he founded 31 years ago to launch a New York-based investment fund.

Lee, the 61-year-old chief executive and chairman of Boston-based Thomas H Lee Partners, which was one of the worst hit by the Refco bankruptcy, told the staff of his intention to leave in an e-mail yesterday.
