David Solomon

Title: Chief Executive Officer Company: Goldman Sachs Group Industry: Banking( Investment)
The DJ decks are retired but the swagger survived the remix. David Solomon absorbed years of sniping, about side hustles, strategy and consumer-banking misadventures, and answered the only way Goldman Sachs respects, with numbers. The retreat from Main Street refocused the firm on advising the biggest deals and trading the biggest flows, just as M & A fees run hot. His One Goldman Sachs doctrine recast a tribal culture. The partners who once whispered about succession now count their bonuses. On Wall Street, that is what winning an argument looks like.
