Today Bob Shea confirms that he has joined TrimTabs Asset Management (TTAM) [profile] as CEO and co-chief investment officer. He most recently served as president, co-CIO, and co-founder of J.A. Forlines, a tactical global macro manager bought by W.E. Donoghue two years ago.

"Our mission is to make TTAM the established leader in Free Cash Flow-based investment solutions by accelerating our growth in the retail and advisor channels and to make deeper connections with the institutional community," Shea states.

TTAM's founder, research analyst Charles Biderman, also created sister company TrimTabs Investment Research in 1990.
