Sibling Duo Reaches Goldman Partner Status Together
11 Jan
Summary
- Brother and sister became partners at Goldman Sachs.
- They lead essential future-focused divisions.
- Both grew up in Los Angeles, children of immigrants.
A brother and sister have achieved a remarkable career milestone, both becoming partners at Goldman Sachs. Padi Raphael, 47, now coheads the third-party wealth business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, focusing on attracting wealthy clients. Her younger brother, Neema Raphael, 44, leads hundreds of engineers working on the bank's crucial data and AI systems, a key priority for the firm's CEO.
The siblings grew up in Los Angeles as children of Iranian immigrants who emphasized education and curiosity. While neither initially envisioned a career in finance, Padi joined Goldman Sachs in 1999, eventually moving to London. Neema followed his sister's path years later, joining the technology division in 2003 after Padi helped him secure introductions.
Their careers unfolded across different divisions and continents, but they remained connected, offering each other advice and support. Padi became a partner in 2016, and Neema achieved the same distinction in 2020. Now, with both Padi and Neema based in New York, their professional lives have converged, mirroring their close personal bond.
