Edward Knight to Retire From Goldman Sachs
After 14 years of service, Edward Knight, head of European One
Delta Equity Sales, has decided to retire from the firm at the
end of the year.

Ed joined Goldman Sachs in 2004 as an executive director in the
Pan European Equity Shares Sales team. In 2008, Ed became head of
our European Research Sales team before expanding his
responsibilities to head One Delta Franchise Sales for Europe. He
was named managing director in 2006 and partner in 2014.

Throughout his career at Goldman Sachs, Ed has exemplified the
firm’s commitment to client service and has been instrumental in
the growth of our European franchise. In addition to his
commercial contributions, Ed has demonstrated an outstanding
commitment to the people and culture of Goldman Sachs, including
in his role as co-sponsor of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and
Transgender Network in Europe.

Please join us in thanking Ed for his many contributions to the
Securities Division, and in wishing him and his family the very
best for the future.

Knight has also taken part in an ocean rowing race to raise money
to help end HPV-related cancer. He ran a marathon in Berlin and
has climbed a number of 4,000-meter peaks in the Alps, including
the Matterhorn and the Eiger, according
to a bio of him on a charity website. The site lists some
individual charity donations for his race that exceeded $10,000.
