• A Goldman Sachs staffer in London is set to appear on
  hit TV show The Great British Bake Off.
• Antony Amordoux works in operations in the bank’s
  London offices.
• He joins other finance workers who have appeared on the
  show, including Selasi Gbormittah, a Deutsche Bank employee who
  made waves in the 2016 series of the show.

A long serving employee at Goldman Sachs is set to appear on the
hit UK TV show The Great British Bake Off, which starts on
Tuesday evening.

Antony Amourdoux, who works in operations for Goldman in
London,
according to the Daily Telegraph, will appear on the show,
which pits amateur bakers against one another for the chance to
be crowned “Star Baker.”

Amordoux, who is 30, grew up in India, and previously
worked for the bank in its Bengaluru office. He moved to London
in 2016, and according to the Telegraph has worked for Goldman
since 2009.

Amordoux’s precise role at the bank is unclear, although
the Telegraph reports that he is “responsible for signing
partnerships with the firm’s top clients.” His LinkedIn
profile lists only his education.

“All of my friends back home in India will be really
surprised,”
Amordoux told The Sun. “They have known me to be a singer in
a choir, a two-piece band but never as a baker, so it will be
interesting to see their reaction.”

The Telegraph reports that Amordoux last week sent a memo
to colleagues saying that he previously had a mantra to “wing
it,” but has since changed his approach:  “I changed my
mantra to start a plan and stick to it.”

Amourdoux joins a growing list of City of London workers
appearing on The Great British Bake-Off, with
Selasi Gbormittah, a client service associate at Deutsche Bank
appearing on the 2016 series, and
James Hillery, the head of tax transparent fund implementation at
financial services firm Northern Trust, appearing on
last year’s show.
