Goldman Sachs Adds Seven Asset and Wealth Management Leaders to Management Committee

Goldman Sachs announced on 26 January 2026 that it was adding seven new leaders to its Management Committee, all drawn from its Asset and Wealth Management division. The firm described the appointments as a direct reflection of its stated core strategic objective of growing the AWM business, which manages assets on behalf of institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, insurance companies and high-net-worth individuals across global markets.

The Management Committee is Goldman Sachs's highest governing body below the board of directors, comprising the firm's most senior partners and managing directors who share collective responsibility for the firm's strategy, capital allocation and major operational decisions.

KEY APPOINTMENTS ACROSS PRIVATE CREDIT AND WEALTH

Among the seven newly appointed Management Committee members are James Reynolds and Vivek Bantwal, global co-heads of Private Credit within Goldman Sachs Asset Management (Reynolds is also CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management International), John Mallory and Nishi Somaiya, who will become global co-heads of Wealth Management, Michael Brandmeyer, global head and CIO of the External Investing Group, and Kristin Olson, global head of Alternatives for Wealth. Gregory Calnon, global co-head of Public Investing within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, also joined the committee. Several of these business lines - private credit, public investing and wealth management - are run by co-heads.

AWM GROWTH AS A CORE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE

The firm's press release was explicit in framing the appointments as aligned with AWM's designation as a core strategic objective for Goldman Sachs.

The announcement was published through Goldman Sachs's official pressroom on 26 January 2026, providing full details of all seven Management Committee additions and their respective responsibilities within the AWM division. The firm indicated that the appointments were effective on the date of announcement.
