Why I left Goldman Sachs

by Greg Smith

Why I left Goldman SachsWhy did Paul Volcker, Jack Welch and Michael Bloomberg pay attention to his writing? On March 14, 2012, more than three million people read the bomb declaration that Greg Smith wrote in the New York Times. It was a column titled "The reason I left Goldman Sachs." The column immediately got word-of-mouth and caused an explosive reaction on Twitter. Paul Volcker, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, as well as GEs legendary chief executive Jack Welch and Michael Bloomberg, New York Mayor. But above all, the column prompted the public to question the role of Wall Street and the capitalist superpower mindset that had brought the global economy to the knees a few years ago. What did the column contain? This book, "Why I Left Goldman Sachs," is a kind of exposure that unfolds a story that Smith has not covered in the column. Goldman Sachs is the US equity derivatives business manager in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He is the CEO of Goldman Sachs in the US, Europe, Middle East and Africa. Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, Smith graduated from Stanford University and was hired as a full-time Goldman Sachs employee in 2001. After 10 years at the headquarters in New York, he moved to the London office in 2011. And he left the company in 2012 because he did not want to deceive his customers anymore. He currently lives in New York City.
