Vulcan Capital, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s firm has hired Paul Ghaffari as CIO according to BizJournals.com:

Paul Allen has tapped a new financial whiz to manage his billions. And that whiz comes from the hedge fund industry. Paul Ghaffari, the 51-year former portfolio manager of Palatine Hill Partners and the founder of investment fund Capitoline, has been tapped as Vulcan Capital’s latest chief investment officer.

I bet the pressure of running money for one of the wealthiest men in America is high, but I suspect Ghaffari is up to the challenge.
