Bloomberg – Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) brought back Mark Schwartz to run its Asian business from Beijing, after an 11-year hiatus during which he ran George Soros’s hedge-fund group and started an investment firm with Raj Rajaratnam.
Schwartz, 57, will also be vice chairman of the firm, New York-based Goldman Sachs said in a statement today. He fills a role left by J. Michael Evans, who served as chairman of the region since 2004 and is now based in New York as vice chairman and global head of growth markets.
