In a LinkedIn post confirming that he will retire next month, Talwar writes: "Six years ago, I left a big job at a great company to be the first employee of an idea - that Goldman Sachs could build a modern consumer business.
However, Ismail quickly decamped to Walmart to take charge of the US retail chain's up-and-coming fintech startup and was replaced by Uber executive Peeyush Naha. It has also struck partnerships with the likes of Apple, Amazon and Walmart.Īt the beginning of the year, Talwar took on the role of chairman, handing over the running of the unit to Omer Ismail. When one of the company’s young stars, 42-year-old Omer Ismail, left with one of his deputies to run a Walmart-backed startup, Goldman CEO David Solomon was so angry that the bank considered. Omer Ismail, a partner at the firm and one of the earliest backers of Marcus within Goldman, took control of the consumer division at the start of 2021. Six years on, Marcus has eight million customers, $100 billion in deposits and nearly $10 billion in loans and card balances. Omer Ismail, the head of Goldmans consumer bank, and David Stark, one of his top lieutenants, will leave the bank to help bolster Walmarts venture into financial services with investment. Former Goldman Sachs exec Omer Ismail will serve as CEO of the combined business, which includes One Finance, a digital financial services company the retailer also bought Wednesday. Talwar joined Goldman Sachs from Discover Financial Services in 2015 as the first employee of the consumer business later called Marcus, charged with helping the investment bank find new revenue sources.
