The group’s reorganization sees its investment banking and trading businesses merged into a single unit, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.
It is the biggest shakeup since the company’s investor day in early 2020 when it outlined plans for four core units: investment banking, global markets, consumer and wealth management and asset management.
“They’re excellent at trading, excellent (at) investment banking,” said Marinac.
But the consumer banking unit that launched in 2016 has struggled to gain traction and suffered from delays.
The combined investment banking and trading group will be overseen by Dan Dees and Jim Esposito, who are currently global co-heads of Goldman’s investment banking division, and Ashok Varadhan, now co-head of its global markets division, according to Bloomberg.
