Meena Flynn

As the world’s ultrarich accrue ever more wealth, firms have been racing to be the go-to managers of their sizable assets and form lasting connections with elite clients. Meena Flynn, co-head of global Private Wealth Management, has led that charge at Goldman Sachs, with impressive results. Goldman Sachs Wealth Management, including PWM, oversees more than $1 trillion in assets globally, and generated over $5 billion in management and other fees last year, up 11% from 2023 and a record for the firm. As co-head of the One Goldman Sachs initiative, Flynn is also tasked with forging deeper relationships with around 100 of the firm’s wealthiest clients, who collectively account for almost 20% of Goldman’s revenue. A newcomer on this year's list, Flynn has championed women in her role, and the majority of the firm's global PWM partners are women.
