Tiger said on Thursday that Fixel, who invested in Facebook and LinkedIn, is leaving the firm later this year.
Lee Fixel, the head of Tiger Global's private equity business, is leaving after a 13-year run, during which he led investments in tech companies including Facebook, LinkedIn and Warby Parker.
Before SoftBank's massive Vision Fund burst onto the Silicon Valley scene in 2017, Tiger had built a practice writing big checks to later-stage start-ups and often helping them expand their business to international markets. Fixel's name became well-known in technology over the past decade alongside T. Rowe Price's Henry Ellenbogen and DST's Yuri Milner, though all three have been trumped by SoftBank's billionaire founder Masayoshi Son.
