John Rogers, who joined Goldman in 1994 and served as chief of staff to four of the bank's CEOs, is giving up that role next month, Solomon said in the employee memo.
For decades, Rogers, 67, wielded outsized influence at Goldman, an institution sometimes called "Government Sachs" because former executives have gone on to presidential administration roles.
While Rogers is ceding his chief of staff responsibilities to Russell Horwitz, a former deputy of his who was most recently global affairs chief of Citadel, he is retaining other roles.
As incoming chief of staff, Horwitz, who spent 16 years at Goldman before departing in 2020, will oversee corporate communications and government and regulatory affairs.
"Please join me in thanking John for his long and impactful tenure as chief of staff, as well as his continued commitment to Goldman Sachs in his other firmwide responsibilities, and in welcoming Russell back to Goldman Sachs," Solomon said.
