NEW YORK, June 9 (Reuters) - Stephanie Cohen, the head of Goldman Sachs Group Inc's (GS.N) fintech unit called Platform Solutions, is taking a leave of absence for family reasons, she said in a memo to staff seen by Reuters.
"The past year has brought some challenges for my family," Cohen said in the memo.
Philip Berlinski, the bank's treasurer, and Ericka Leslie, its chief administrative officer, will handle Cohen's responsibilities in her absence.
Cohen is the only woman executive to lead one of Goldman's three main business units.
Cohen joined Goldman Sachs as an analyst in 1999, was named managing director in 2008 and partner in 2014.
