David Solomon, the Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), has reportedly chosen to step back from DJing at high-profile events. Solomon’s secondary career as a DJ had come under fire for allegedly diverting his attention from his primary role at Goldman Sachs.
What Happened: The Financial Times reports that Solomon made the decision to retreat from DJing roughly a year ago, amid escalating media scrutiny. His last known appearance as a DJ took place at Lollapalooza, a renowned music festival in Chicago, in July 2022.
