A top Goldman executive is leaving following reports that he wrote unauthorized posts critical of Trump

"According to Bloomberg, del Castano wrote articles for the Spanish-language news website The Objective containing strong rebukes against Trump and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. In one post, he criticized the president's "poor manners, his self-centeredness, his apparent lack of scruples, and his morally questionable nature," Bloomberg reported. When the publication went to Goldman for comment, the bank said it had not been aware of the articles, which The Objective then deleted."

""Alvaro has had an excellent 30-plus-year career at the firm and has decided to retire from Goldman Sachs," a spokesperson for the bank said in a statement to Business Insider. "We look forward to continuing to work with him on matters that benefit our clients." Del Castano also led the firm's private wealth management activities on the Iberian Peninsula. He was elevated to the rank of managing director in 2002; he joined the firm about a decade prior as an associate."

Alvaro del Castano will exit Goldman Sachs in the coming months, according to an internal memo. He authored Spanish-language op-eds on The Objective that contained strong rebukes of Donald Trump and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, including a passage criticizing the president's "poor manners, his self-centeredness, his apparent lack of scruples, and his morally questionable nature." Goldman said it had not been aware of the articles, and The Objective deleted them after contact. Del Castano joined Goldman in 1993, became a managing director in 2002, and was named cohead for Spain and Portugal this year. He also led the firm's private wealth management activities on the Iberian Peninsula. The bank thanked him for his contributions and said he decided to retire.
