Veteran dealmaker Raghav Maliah will retain his Asia-Pacific leadership roles while taking on the global chairmanship as part of Goldman Sachs’ strategic expansion in investment banking.
July-2, 2025: Goldman Sachs has appointed Raghav Maliah as Global Chairman of Investment Banking, expanding his leadership responsibilities while retaining his regional roles, according to an internal memo confirmed by a company spokesperson on Wednesday.
In his expanded role, Maliah will continue as Co-Head of Mergers & Acquisitions in Asia Pacific and Head of the Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) Group for Asia Pacific excluding Japan. He will also remain an integral part of the firm’s Asia Pacific Management Committee.
Maliah, a seasoned banker with over two decades at Goldman Sachs, joined the firm in 2000 as an associate. He was promoted to Managing Director in 2006 and Partner in 2010, steadily rising through the ranks with a reputation for executing high-profile deals and strengthening the bank’s M&A franchise in the region.
The move comes amid Goldman Sachs’ broader push to capture a larger share of Asia’s growing investment banking market. In a recent interview with Reuters, the firm’s new regional investment banking chief emphasized tapping into “strong tailwinds” in Asia, fueled by restructuring, tech expansion, and capital market activity.
