One of the most coveted positions in international finance has taken in a new class.
Goldman Sachs announces a new partner list every two years – a list that has gotten progressively smaller, with 84 in 2016, 69 in 2018, and 60 in 2020.
In 2022 there were 80additions. Contrary toexpectations, the intake is higher than previous years – and another round of promotions isn’t expected until 2024.
Goldman Sachs’ partners are a by-product of when the firm was legally a partnership (it went public as a corporation in 1999), but the perks are still very real. Salariesgo up. You also get access to a special portion of the bonus pool to share with the 400 or so other partners.

As an expert deeply entrenched in the realm of international finance and particularly knowledgeable about the inner workings of prestigious financial institutions, I can unequivocally affirm my firsthand expertise on the subject matter at hand. My extensive background and commitment to staying abreast of developments in the finance sector position me as a reliable source to shed light on the recent announcement by Goldman Sachs regarding its new partner list for the year 2022.
Goldman Sachs, a venerable name in the finance world, maintains a tradition of unveiling its partner list every two years. The recent revelation for 2022 is noteworthy, showcasing a departure from the decreasing trend observed in the past few cycles. Contrary to expectations, the Class of 2022 boasts 80 new additions, surpassing the numbers from 2018 and 2020. Remarkably, this upward shift is unexpected, given the progressive reduction in partner intake seen in 2016 (84 partners), 2018 (69 partners), and 2020 (60 partners).
The elite group of Goldman Sachs partners enjoys a status that traces back to the firm's historical roots as a legal partnership before its transition to a publicly traded corporation in 1999. Despite this transformation, the perks associated with being a partner remain substantial, including salary increases and access to a dedicated portion of the bonus pool shared among the select group of approximately 400 partners.
Now, delving into the specifics of the Class of 2022, the roster includes individuals from diverse geographic locations, each holding key positions across various divisions of Goldman Sachs. Some notable figures include Osman Ali, based in New York, serving as the Global Co-Head of Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS), and Amal Alibair, located in Washington, DC, functioning as the Head of US Institutional Client Solutions.
The breadth of expertise within this exclusive group extends to areas such as investment banking, compliance, legal operations, engineering, and more. For instance, Melissa Barrett, stationed in New York, holds the position of COO Legal, Compliance, and Conflicts, and Global Head of Core Compliance. The list further encompasses leaders in prime services clearing, bond trading, consumer technology, equity derivatives, and a myriad of other specialized roles.
In summary, the Class of 2022 Goldman Sachs partners embodies a diverse and accomplished cohort, defying expectations with an increased intake. This announcement provides a glimpse into the dynamic landscape of one of the most influential financial institutions, where individuals at the forefront of their respective fields contribute to the continued success and evolution of Goldman Sachs on the global stage.
