Story
David Solomon is the Goldman CEO most people mean when the name is said without a middle initial: a banker from the deal side, not the trading floor, who reached the corner office in 2018.
The job is part balance sheet, part culture. He has kept the franchise while letting a little more light into a firm that once preferred the shadows — and, on the side, a late-night DJ habit the tabloids never quite ignored.
