Elisha Wiesel, the chief information officer of Goldman Sachs — and a central figure in the Wall Street firm’s overhaul of its technology functions — is in talks about leaving the bank to pursue a philanthropic project, a person familiar with the situation told the Financial Times. A spokesman for the bank declined to comment on his potential departure, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, along with the potential departure of Steve Strongin, who heads Goldman’s research division. Two people familiar with the situation confirmed that both men were in talks about potentially leaving the bank or stepping back from their day-to-day management duties, but stressed that no final decisions had been made.
