Kim Posnett

One of Goldman Sachs’s top dealmakers, Kim Posnett transitioned from global head of the technology, media, and telecommunications group to global co-head of investment banking in January 2025, signaling her ascendance among a new generation of leaders for the firm. While the M&A landscape in 2025 looks significantly different than many firms had anticipated owing to the Trump administration’s priorities, Goldman has been the No. 1 M&A advisory globally for most of the last 20 years, including in 2024—and Posnett has been one of the star contributors, advising companies including Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Uber, and X.
