Before former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. President Gary Cohn began a poolside chat in the Hamptons on Thursday with former Harvard University President Lawrence H. Summers, their host cracked a joke about the Wall Street veteran.
“If you happen to see him leave early, that means they’re probably calling him because he’s a candidate to be the future CEO of Goldman Sachs,” said Steven Starker, who worked there before co-founding the brokerage BTIG. “There’s going to be no David Solomon questions tonight.
