The Leaders Goldman Can Turn to When Blankfein Decides to Retire

Lloyd Blankfein may not be ready to say when he’ll give up his crown, but that’s not because there’s no one around to take it.
The investment bank tapped Harvey Schwartz and David Solomon in late 2016 to work as co-presidents as part of a reshuffling of top managers. The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter it didn’t identify, reported Friday that Blankfein, 63, may retire as soon as the end of this year and be replaced by either Schwartz or Solomon. But the CEO later tweeted that it was the newspaper’s announcement and not his.
