A Gay, Latino Partner Tests Goldman’s Button-Down Culture; New York Times, 4/1/16

Nathaniel Popper, New York Times; A Gay, Latino Partner Tests Goldman’s Button-Down Culture:

"Mr. Chavez has not been shy about pushing the company to embrace social issues as a selling point. He urged its human resources department to expand benefits to gay partners before the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. He then encouraged Mr. Blankfein to speak out in support of gay marriage.

Still, he acknowledges, there is much to do. At an event for computer programmers last fall, he joked about Goldman’s lack of diversity.

He was in an office, he said, with a fellow Hispanic executive, when another executive stopped by. “He opens the door, he sticks his head in, and he says, ‘50 percent of the Hispanic partners of Goldman Sachs, right here, right now.’” The task now, he said, was to take Goldman “to a different place.”"
