Goldman Sachs has appointed Raghav Maliah as chairman of investment banking, expanding his leadership to a global role while retaining his current regional duties. The promotion, confirmed by a spokesperson on Wednesday, highlights the firm's ongoing strategy to strengthen its global dealmaking capabilities.
Maliah will continue as co-head of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) for Asia Pacific and head of the Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) Group for Asia Pacific excluding Japan. His expanded role underscores Goldman Sachs’ confidence in his leadership as the firm intensifies its focus on strategic growth in Asia.
Maliah has played a key role in Goldman’s push to expand M&A coverage in the region. In September 2024, he was named co-head of Asia Pacific M&A alongside Yoshihiko Yano and Ed Wittig, signaling a broader effort to deepen the bank’s presence in high-growth markets.
A member of Goldman Sachs’ Asia Pacific Management Committee, Maliah joined the firm in 2000 as an associate. He was promoted to managing director in 2006 and became a partner in 2010.
This leadership move comes amid a broader transformation at Goldman Sachs aimed at increasing its investment banking footprint in Asia. The firm recently announced plans to leverage structural tailwinds and regional deal activity to secure a larger market share.
With Maliah at the helm of global investment banking strategy, Goldman Sachs is positioning itself to capture more cross-border M&A opportunities, particularly in the fast-evolving tech and telecom sectors across Asia.
