<ul class="summary-list"><li>Feroz Khosla, part of Goldman Sachs' financing group, was named a Goldman partner on Thursday.</li><li>At 35 years old, Khosla is the youngest member of the firm's new class of partners for 2024.</li></ul><p>Feroz Khosla was seated at his desk at Goldman Sachs' lower Manhattan headquarters when the call came in.</p><p>On the line was John Waldron, Goldman's president and chief operating officer, who asked Khosla how he was feeling. "Something tells me I'll feel a lot better after this phone call," Khosla said. The two men exchanged a laugh, and then Waldron delivered the news.</p><p>"We'd like to welcome you into the partnership," Khosla recounted Waldron telling him. "I look forward to calling you my partner."</p><p>Khosla is one of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-partners-revealed-see-full-list-names-diversity-women-2024-11">95 Goldman executives</a> who got a call like this on Thursday, part of a biennial ritual intended to honor and uphold the firm's genesis as a partnership. At 35, Khosla is the youngest member of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-partner-class-perks-privileges-cross-ruffing-process-2024-10">2024 partner class</a>. He's also one of the 29% of new partners who joined Goldman as a summer intern — 2009 in Khosla's case.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-is-about-to-promote-another-round-of-partners-2022-10">Goldman Sachs partners</a> comprise the firm's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-partners-share-investment-banking-oral-histories-2024-7">highest-ranking executives outside the C-Suite</a>, responsible for units representing billions of dollars in business.</p><p>Khosla works in the financing group within Goldman's global banking and capital markets division, where he leads the investment-grade-financing and corporate-derivatives business for healthcare and real estate. He works with CFO and treasury clients on their capital structure and financing needs and advises them on the implications of macro risks on specific transactions, like fluctuation in interest rates or currency valuations.</p><p>The corporate-derivatives business is housed within Goldman's overall financing unit, which encompasses both equity and debt underwriting. Increased lending needs from corporate borrowers helped lift Goldman's debt underwriting revenues by 46% in the third quarter versus the same time in 2023.</p><p>In an interview with BI, Khosla walked Business Insider through this pivotal day in his career, from who he called first to how he celebrated with his family and his boss.</p><div type="image" title="A bald man in a suit smiles" height="1917" width="3000" msid="115114994" hostid="261" sizebytes="224422"></div><h2 id="81a329b4-c785-4b14-a16c-9f45e13a515e"><strong>Champagne toasts, 'welcome to the family'</strong></h2><p>"The responsibility part absolutely gets deeper, heavier," Khosla said of the partner title. Still, he and some of his newly minted fellow partners have been making time to celebrate.</p><p>At the office on Thursday, some new partners indulged in cake with their teams, one insider said. There were also celebratory dinners across Manhattan. Khosla, one of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/top-wall-street-executives-rising-stars-investing-trading-2024">BI's 2024 Rising Stars of Wall Street</a>, attended a dinner hosted by Vivek Bantwal, Goldman's global head of financing, who heads Khosla's group, as well as other current partners.</p><p>Bantwal and the other partners invited about 15 people — new partners and their spouses — to a restaurant in downtown Manhattan, where Bantwal cracked open what Khosla called "a very special bottle of Champagne that had been given to him by another partner, and he'd been saving for an occasion like this." </p><p>At one point, someone leaned over and said to Khosla's wife: "Welcome to the family," he said. </p><p>In his interview with BI on Friday, Khosla recognized his team's contributions in helping him make partner, saying he intends to call every person in his department — from junior analysts all the way up to other partners — to thank them. "Goldman Sachs was the first family that I really had when I left India," he said, adding: "Frankly, it's the only jersey I want to wear."</p><p>He already thanked his loved ones. His parents, he said, are from India, and made sacrifices to send him to America to pursue his education. His wife, Lucy, is no stranger to canceling appointments to care for their kids, ages 2 and 4, when work has kept Khosla late.</p><p>"I immediately texted my father just to say, 'We did it,'" he recalled. "Then I called my wife and I thanked her and congratulated her," he said, adding, "This is not just one individual's day, and I think it won't be one individual's celebration."</p><p>Khosla said he and his wife are hoping to use this new achievement to advance opportunities for his children. Education, he said, was vital to his upbringing: His parents laminated multiplication tables for their kids to use as placemats while eating. Being quizzed by his mom as she drove him to school, he said, kept him sharp.</p><p>Khosla said he recognizes there's a lot of work ahead to prove he's deserving of the title. One way he pumps himself up, he said, is with playlists of movie trailers he listens to while running.</p><p>In contemplating which trailer might best depict the current point in his career, he said: "Mission Impossible."</p><p><em>Are you a Goldman Sachs insider?

Goldman Sachs just announced a big shake-up

<p class="source"><span>Paul Morigi/Getty Images</span></p><p class="caption">Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon.</p><ul class="summary-list"><li>Goldman Sachs said goodbye to dozens of partners last year when they either left the firm, renounced their membership in one of Wall Street's most desirable clubs, or made it clear they'd leave by the end of January, and the exits hit hardest in the firm's securities division.</li><li>Roughly half of those counted by Business Insider - 19 out of 36 - departed the firm's troubled securities division.</li><li>Business Insider searched through articles, both its own and those of other news organizations, talked to current and former employees, and sounded out recruiters to aggregate the departed partners. </li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/?hprecirc-bullet">Click here for more BI Prime stories</a>.</li></ul><p>Goldman Sachs said goodbye to dozens of partners last year when they either left the firm or renounced their membership in one of Wall Street's most desirable clubs, and the exits hit hardest in the firm's securities division.</p><p>More than half of those counted by Business Insider - 19 out of 36 - departed the firm's securities division, renounced their partner status or said they will leave soon. The count doesn't include a quintet of senior partners from the securities division who left in 2018: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-securities-heads-exit-hands-opportunity-to-next-group-of-execs-2018-5">Pablo Salame</a>, Isabelle Ealet, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-equities-co-head-paul-russo-leaving-the-bank-2018-9">Paul Russo</a>, John Willian and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/r-goldman-trading-executive-bash-polley-to-depart-at-year-end-memo-2018-9">Stacy Bash-Polley</a>. </p><p>Business Insider searched through articles, both its own and those of other news organizations, talked to current and former employees, and sounded out recruiters to aggregate the partners who left. </p><p>Since <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-david-solomon-ceo-2018-7">becoming CEO</a> in October 2018, David Solomon has turned a sharp eye to Goldman's trading division, where former CEO Lloyd Blankfein made his career and where many of his top lieutenants kept their desks. The securities division has struggled with a move toward electronic trading and calm financial markets that have kept many clients on the sidelines, and yet many of the exits were well-known names on Wall Street. </p><p>Salame, David Casner, and Justin Gmelich, to name just three, quickly found jobs elsewhere. Salame, once head of the division, joined Ken Griffin's hedge fund, Citadel, as head of credit, while Casner, a senior exec in equity derivatives, joined Citadel last year as well. Gmelich, one of two leaders of Goldman's fixed-income franchise, joined hedge fund King Street Capital as global head of markets and also joined MarketAxess' board. </p><p>Some partners didn't leave the firm, but gave up their standing as partners. John Madsen, the former chief technology officer, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-departures-robin-vince-latest-to-leave-2019-9">chose</a> to "retire from the partnership," according to a September memo that hewed closely to a phrase that's been used in other cases as well. Dean Backer, head of Goldman's prime brokerage unit, also retired from the partnership, but stayed on as chairman of the business. </p><p>Others are still at the firm, but have made it known that they intend to leave. Josh Struzziery, for example, will leave by the end of this month, according to a person with knowledge of his exit. One current partner, research chief Steve Strongin, is widely thought to be giving up his management post and partnership status this year to focus on writing and research, though he remains a partner today, according to a person familiar with his thinking. </p><p>Each individual decision was likely a mixture of realizing that there was no place for them in Solomon's Goldman Sachs and finding exciting opportunities elsewhere. </p><p>When people leave, there's a number of ways to go. While many like to stay private, others host cocktail hours or private dinners with close colleagues, and sometimes, clients. Marty Chavez, for example, is hosting a retirement dinner on Wednesday night at the Izakaya-style Japanese restaurant Zuma. </p><p>Colleagues arranged marching bands to fete Justin Gmelich and Brian Levine when they left, and Levine gave a short speech over the trading floor's loudspeaker known as the hoot, according to a person who witnessed it. Others are clapped off the floor. And still others star in movies: Paul Russo was the subject of a short video featuring old photos that aired in the auditorium. </p><p>In all, roughly 50 partners have already left since the last partner class was <a href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/media-relations/press-releases/archived/2018/gs-partner-class-2018.html">announced</a> in November 2018, or said they will leave shortly, according to a person who has seen the numbers. Executives expect another 30 or so to leave between now and when the new partner class is announced later this year, the person said.</p><p>Executives close to Solomon think the exits are tracking past cycles. By other counts, the firmwide departures have been greater than in years past. The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/goldman-sachss-partnership-is-shrinking-11567635448">reported</a> in September, without saying where it got the information, that as much as 15% of the firm's roughly 500 partners would leave. The newspaper said at the time that as many as 12 partners were negotiating their exit before the end of the year.</p><p>Goldman's partnership stood at roughly 500 in late 2018 when a new class of 69 partners - the smallest in Goldman's two decades as a public company - received the promotion.</p><p>The CEO is looking to shrink the partnership and make it more exclusive, and he's made it clear internally that he wants to give more of the prestigious titles to revenue producers than those who work in human resources, finance, or operations. He's also said that some of the exits have come as a byproduct of choosing other executives for more senior roles. Jeff Nedelman, for example, is widely thought to have left after Solomon named Marc Nachmann as co-head of the securities division.</p><p>"As a management team, John, Stephen and I are very focused on creating opportunities for the next generation of leaders at Goldman Sachs," Solomon said in October on the firm's earnings call. "As we set forth an ambitious long-term strategic plan for the firm, it is a natural point in time for this transition to occur."</p><p>The CEO has encouraged some of the exits by offering some partners <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-ceo-solomon-offering-buyouts-to-partners-shrink-senior-ranks-2019-9">generous payouts</a>, people with knowledge of the discussions said in September. In some cases, that might look like a prorated bonus adjusted for their performance, while in others, it may be a larger sum, one of the people said. </p><p>The preponderance of exits from the securities division has led some to call it a purge, or a sign that Solomon is focused on thinning out enemies or Blankfein lieutenants. It's also true that the division is undergoing large scale changes the likes of which aren't being seen in most of Goldman's other units. </p><p>Solomon has named investment bankers to securities division roles: Two out of three of the securities division co-heads, Jim Esposito and Marc Nachmann, spent the majority of their careers in the division Solomon ran before getting promoted. Vivek Bantwal, last seen running the firm's credit and structured finance businesses, has been named as chief operating officer of the securities division. Bantwal worked for Nachmann in the investment bank, according to a person with knowledge of their careers. </p><p>On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-renames-business-units-ahead-of-quarterly-results-2020-1">said</a> it would report financial results across four new segments, another part of Solomon's plan to reposition Goldman for the future and help elevate the firm's stock price.</p><p>Here's the list of those partners who left, or renounced their membership.</p><p><em>Have we forgotten someone?
