Goldman Sachs tech MD left for Florida fund and resurfaced at Millennium in London
Bringing tech staff to Florida is one thing, keeping them there is another. Goldman Sachs MD Ally Vaughn relocated to the Sunshine State with an asset management firm but lasted just ten months; now she's leaving the country to join a hedge fund in London.

Vaughn has joined Millennium in London as its head of business management for fixed income, commodities and risk technology. She was previously head of transformation at Boca Raton-based asset management firm Polen Capital, which touted a $60bn AUM figure earlier this year and has over 250 employees. Polen has been building out its own London office recently, but Vaughn seems to have preferred Millennium's proposition.
Before Polen, Vaughn spent 15 years at Goldman Sachs in New York. She made MD in 2021 while working as chief of staff for then-CTO Atte Lahtiranta, but spent the past two and a half years as the bank's head of product management and privacy platform, within the core engineering team. She first joined Goldman in compliance, having previously worked as an attorney, before transitioning to treasury, then to engineering.
It's curious that Vaughn has relocated away from Florida, given that Millennium is one of top technology employers for finance in Florida, if not the biggest, thanks to its Miami tech hub. Perhaps she prefers the overcast skies of London to the beach.
