chief strategy officer since 2017, was promoted Tuesday to run the bank’s consumer banking and wealth-management division as part of a broader reshuffling two years into Solomon’s tenure. Her co-head will be Tucker York, a longtime executive in Goldman’s private bank, which caters to billionaires.
The firm is also combining Goldman Sachs Asset Management, which invests about $2 trillion on behalf of clients such as pension funds and governments, with its private-equity business, which has historically invested Goldman’s own money. It will be run by Eric Lane, a co-head of the former, and Julian Salisbury, a co-head of the latter.
Goldman Kremlinologists will find plenty to dissect in the moves. Cohen, a favorite of Solomon, gets a division to run—a must-have for executives with their eye on the C-suite. A longtime consigliere to a string of Goldman CEOs, Tim O’Neill, will give up his job co-running asset management with Lane to become a senior counselor.
