When Goldman Sachs Group’s CIO baton passed last September from the retiring Steven Scopellite (No. 6 in 2013) to R. Martin Chavez, the job got bigger. In addition to 8,000 technology division engineers, Chavez took on 2,000 others inside such revenue-producing divisions as securities, investment banking and asset management. The result, says the 50-year-old, is “a single leadership and accountability point,” with the division heads sharing tech oversight. With a BS in biochemistry and a master’s in computer science from Harvard University and a Ph.D. in medical information sciences from Stanford University, Chavez has bounced between Wall Street and the start-up world. He co-founded Quorum Software Systems in San Francisco, serving as CTO from 1989 to ’93, then worked as a senior energy strategist at Goldman for four years and as global head of energy derivatives at Credit Suisse Financial Products for three. Next he was CEO of Kiodex, a New York risk management systems firm that SunGard Data Systems bought in 2004. He returned to Goldman in 2005 and was co-COO of equities before becoming CIO. Thanks to the concurrent trends of open-source development and cloud computing, Chavez says, “we can do something we couldn’t do before — extend our platform out to clients.” When weighing software options, “we now have a preference for download, build, buy,” in that order. Much of the software required for the new regulatory environment does not exist, he says, and will have to be built.
