At Goldman Sachs, it's time to fill in the Blankfein

New York

GOLDMAN Sachs Group Inc CEO Lloyd Blankfein has described his role as the "best job in the world".

Amid a report that he is preparing to relinquish the position, investors can be grateful for his service, but at the same time, welcome a new era. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the 63- year-old, who took over from Hank Paulson in 2006, is set to end his tenure as soon as this year. Mr Blankfein pushed back on the news via Twitter, saying the announcement was "the WSJ's ... not mine".
