Freddie Mac, one of the key government-backed housing finance entities, named its president, Mike Hutchins, as interim chief executive officer, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Diana Reid had been leading the agency since September and was one of several senior leaders to reportedly be fired. A replacement hasn't been named.

The leadership changes follow a string of reshuffling efforts made by recently appointed FHFA Director Bill Pulte.
