""Since I joined Goldman Sachs six years ago, it has been my privilege to help oversee the firm's legal, reputational, and regulatory matters; to enhance our strong risk management processes; and to ensure that we live by our core value of integrity in everything we do," Ruemmler said in a statement. "My responsibility is to put Goldman Sachs' interests first. Earlier today, I regretfully informed David Solomon of my intention to step down as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Goldman Sachs as of June 30, 2026.""
"Yeah Goldman's "core value of integrity" was about stretched to its limits to accommodate thousands of emails with one of the most notorious criminals of our time. And the communications went far beyond a routine professional relationship. Career coaching. Gift exchanges. Cringe-inducing jokes that land even worse in hindsight. And all of it unfolding while Ruemmler later occupied one of the most powerful roles in corporate America."
Kathryn Ruemmler announced her resignation as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Goldman Sachs, effective June 30, 2026, after renewed scrutiny over extensive communications with Jeffrey Epstein. She cited six years at the firm overseeing legal, reputational, and regulatory matters, strengthening risk management processes, and upholding integrity. She stated her responsibility to put Goldman Sachs' interests first and informed CEO David Solomon of her decision. Reporting indicates communications included career coaching, gift exchanges, and ill-judged jokes that exceeded a routine professional relationship. Public access to those communications made her position untenable, and the CEO praised her contributions.
