"Around one in four employees at Goldman are engineers, and Cohen held various engineering leadership roles before becoming a partner in 2024. Her current team now automates the asset management business' operations to help it scale.Goldman's asset and wealth management division holds a record $3.6 trillion in assets and has grown under CEO David Solomon's leadership.Cohen's approach to delegation plays out both at work and at home. Some responsibilities, Cohen said, are "truly non-discretionary," but others can be passed on either to colleagues at work or family members at home."
""Does this need to be me directly, or is this the kind of thing that a delegate could do just as well, and it won't compromise the outcome?""
"For Cohen, a religious Jewish woman, celebrating Shabbat each week between sundown on Friday and sundown on Saturday is a non-negotiable. Her close colleagues know that they'll periodically need to take a task over the finish line on Friday evenings, after she's logged off."
Bracha Cohen is a partner in asset and wealth management engineering at Goldman Sachs who balances a demanding career with raising seven children and religious observance through delegation. She has spent more than three decades at the firm and became a partner in 2024, leading a team that automates asset management operations to scale a division holding $3.6 trillion in assets. Cohen separates truly non-discretionary obligations from tasks that can be delegated to colleagues or family members. Observing Shabbat is non-negotiable, and accommodating that schedule has taught intensified time management and long-term planning skills essential to her success.
