Janet is a gal we love
Sent from an angel up above
To show the boys we can be halfbacks
She led the way at Goldman Sachs
First woman to ascend the sales throne
Janet paved the way for female hormones
Quick to see the value in a new thing called the internet
85Broads.com was a domain she had to get
Before the men at GS could ask “who let her do that”
An amazing network of women was begat

Greg Smith's Op-Ed piece in yesterday's NY Times about Goldman Sachs' "toxic culture" was a cowardly act. By tossing a verbal hand grenade on his way out the door, he sullied the reputations of the vast majority of the people at the firm who work and live by the highest possible professional standards every single day.
I left Goldman Sachs in 1993 because I wanted to start my own business. In...
The Greg Smith resignation letter from Goldman Sachs is a big deal. And yes, it has some repercussions about leadership taught at MBA programs.

In 2002, after much deliberation, I quit my job at Goldman Sachs in New York and moved to the Bay area when my husband Ramki’s job got transferred. From a wooded suburb close to Hudson river, we found ourselves an hour away from the Pacific Ocean now. Bay area seemed so spread out and we knew a few friends from our college...
I had the great pleasure to speak at a Compass in the Americas event last night at RBS in Stamford, CT.
The building is gorgeous -- I would be tempted to work there for that reason alone!
I teamed up with 4 fabulous women on the event's choreography: Nancy Keane, Jen Fitzgibbon, Tejal Wadhwani, and Maxine Gibbs. These gals are smart, warm, gracious, and made the night an absolute hit.
Roughly 150 people...

Women are scarce on the corporate boards of leading companies; just 15 percent. As shareholders and networkers we can apply financial and social pressure to change that.

I spent 14 very happy years at GS. I first met Lloyd in 1981 when Goldman acquired J. Aron. Lloyd was just "one of the guys" back then but everyone instinctively knew that he was going to bat .500.
As a salesperson, you are the chief negotiator between the trading desk and your clients. Sometimes you have just seconds to get a trade done before the market moves - when it all...
