Luke Sarsfield will join Julian Salisbury in leading Goldman Sachs’ asset management unit, which manages $1.7trn in assets.
Salisbury solely led the unit for much of 2021, which is unlike Goldman Sachs that is known for placing at least two executives to run key businesses.
The US investment bank restructured its business lines in 2020 and merged its investment-management unit with its merchant bank.
The combined entity reported nearly $15bn in revenue in 2021.

Sarsfield brings nearly two decades of experience as a dealmaker during which he held several leadership roles.
In 2019, he was selected to run sales for asset management, where he was responsible for developing ties with the firm’s institutional and retail clients.
