Goldman Sachs is considering a leadership transition that could see CEO David Solomon step down and President and Chief Operating Officer John Waldron take over the Wall Street banking giant as early as 2027, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
The Goldman Sachs board has discussed a potential succession plan under which Waldron would become chief executive around the end of 2027 or sometime in 2028, the report said, citing people familiar with the discussions. Waldron has long been viewed as a key figure in Goldman’s senior leadership and currently serves as both president and operating chief.
Under the proposed arrangement, Solomon could remain closely involved with Goldman Sachs after relinquishing the CEO position. The report said he is expected to potentially serve as executive chairman for approximately one to two years following the leadership transition.
Any succession plan would still require formal approval from Goldman Sachs’ board. A decision could come within the next several months, although the timetable remains subject to change and the bank has not announced a definitive transition date.
Solomon has led Goldman Sachs for nearly a decade, overseeing the investment bank through shifting market conditions and major strategic changes. During his tenure, he placed significant emphasis on Goldman’s core trading operations, a strategy that has delivered strong results as market volatility and increased client activity supported the business.
Goldman Sachs shares have also climbed to record highs, strengthening the bank’s market position during Solomon’s leadership.
A potential promotion for Waldron would represent a closely watched leadership change at one of Wall Street’s most influential financial institutions. As president and COO, Waldron already holds broad responsibilities across Goldman Sachs’ operations, positioning him as a central figure in the bank’s long-term succession planning.
For now, Solomon remains CEO, while any transition to Waldron depends on board approval and the final timing of Goldman Sachs’ leadership plans.
