TREE NEWS reports: Goldman Sachs’ board is discussing a plan to appoint John Waldron as the bank’s next chief executive, with a succession that could occur in late 2027 or 2028. Current CEO David Solomon is expected to move to executive chairman of the board after stepping down as CEO. The plan requires board approval.
Goldman Sachs board weighs naming Waldron next CEO
AI take
The reported plan signals an unusually long, pre-announced succession, which matters for how Goldman's institutional clients and counterparties read continuity in its digital-asset and tokenization work. Naming an internal candidate early tends to reduce the leadership uncertainty that can stall long-horizon RWA and market-structure initiatives. Whether the board formally approves the timeline, and how Waldron positions himself on those businesses before any handover, is the open question.
