Mr. Azzara will remain with BBAM as an advisor to the company’s Executive Committee through March 31, 2021, to ensure a smooth transition.

We wish him all the best during his retirement.”
Mr. Cannon is currently Senior Vice President, Corporate Legal, a position he has held since joining BBAM in 2014. Prior to joining BBAM, Mr. Cannon practiced law at Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP.
