Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s youngest Black partner, Darren Dixon, is leaving to start his own fund, adding to a string of exits in the past year from the bank’s already small pool of top-ranking Black executives.
The 35-year-old, who was named partner in 2020, was most recently head of global capital solutions, a group that structures complex deals and rescue financing for companies navigating trouble. Dixon, well-known at the firm for his rapid rise, is in conversations with backers to start an infrastructure-focused fund that would mimic the style of his lucrative money-making group at Goldman, according to people with knowledge of his plans.
