The last three and a half years covering Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been some of the most chaotic and fulfilling of my career. I am deeply grateful to my sources who put their trust in me to report on the lack of women at Goldman Sachs's highest ranks, breakdowns in vetting and anti-money laundering procedures in Morgan Stanley's wealth management division, and the ups and downs of David Solomon's tenure as CEO.

I was assigned to Goldman just as it was about to begin pulling back on its major consumer-lending ambitions and take billions of dollars of losses in the process. A senior editor gave me a bottle of champagne when we broke that Apple wanted out of its partnership with Goldman in late 2023. I stared at that bottle over the years--my goal was to open it only after we'd break where this credit-card program was going...that happened in early January, at the same time that my editors and I were deep in work on a story about angst inside Goldman about its general counsel's ties to Epstein.

In the fall, I was promoted to lead financial reporter. When I return to work in a few days, my focus will switch to covering private credit and private equity.

It's always a humbling experience starting a new beat, let alone a beat that’s in the midst of a crisis. I want to thank my editors— David Benoit , Cara Lombardo , Amol Sharma —and editor-in-chief Emma Tucker for their ongoing trust and confidence in me. They and my former editors, including Marie Beaudette , Christina Rexrode , Dana Cimilluca , and David Reilly , over the years have pushed me to challenge myself and stuck by me through tough times...and those angry phone calls from comms!

I welcome all tips and guidance on the new beat.

Anna Maria, I would like the truth about did the people whose houses got stolen by 3 banks who were sanctioned get a house bought for them in the end by the government of the USA. I know Jeff B is friends with one of the banks and I know he owns this newspaper. See if you can get the truth. Would love it!

Well done. Take a look at Megan Greenwell’s Bad Company as you read up on this opaque and very powerful force in U.S. business.
