Goldman Sachs Undergoes Transformation Under CEO David Solomon
Despite Internal Disagreements, Bank's Stock Rises and Focus Shifts to Core Businesses
- Goldman Sachs CEO, David Solomon, has been transforming the bank since he took over in 2018, leading to three reorganizations and the departure of over 200 partners.
- Solomon's changes have included modernizing the bank, diversifying its ranks, and increasing transparency to shareholders.
- Despite some internal disagreement with Solomon's leadership style and changes, the bank's stock has risen under his leadership, winning the support of shareholders and board members.
- Goldman Sachs has moved away from its consumer banking efforts and reorganized in 2022 to focus on two core businesses: investment banking and trading and its asset and wealth management business.
- Despite the changes under Solomon, Goldman Sachs remains a top job destination for aspiring bankers and continues to be a leading bank for M&A and IPOs.
