I work in the Technology division of Goldman Sachs in New York. My current focus is IP Communications, where my team helps to define the firm’s telephony, video, streaming media and collaboration strategy. We match our business need with the right technology, often working with vendors to meet that need. I also spend a considerable portion of my time working with and coaching members of my team.
As one of the largest players in the financial space, we help to define requirements for many of the technologies that hit the market – we actually influence product development – and I find this part of the job thrilling. It’s a great feeling to see our ideas realized in the final products.
My job is always interesting: I’ve had the opportunity to work with many emerging technologies and engineer many solutions for the firm. It so happens that I start working with a new infrastructure sector every two to three years. This is the kind of place where if you want to stretch yourself, you will always find the opportunity to do so.
