Doctoroff was a former deputy mayor under Bloomberg.
His departure makes way for Bloomberg to take back the helm of the company, of which he still owns more than 85 per cent.
The 72-year-old Bloomberg handed the reins of the United States’ largest city to Bill de Blasio on January 1.
His company has grown to employ more than 15,000 people in 73 countries and has made him a billionaire.
