Goldman Sachs on Monday tapped veteran banker Stefan Duffner to lead the investment bank's activism and shareholder advisory work in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at a time corporations are increasingly asking for help to defend against activist investors pushing for changes.

Goldman Sachs has appointed Udi Duffner as the head of activism defense for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on January 27, 2025. Duffner, who has been with Goldman Sachs since 2014, previously served as a managing director in the firm's shareholder advisory and activism defense team. His promotion comes at a time when shareholder activism is on the rise, with companies increasingly needing strategic advice to manage activist investors. This role will see Duffner leading efforts to help EMEA companies navigate and respond to activist campaigns, leveraging his extensive experience in M&A, corporate governance, and investor relations.
