Goldman Sachs names insiders Connolly and Voris joint heads of Americas ECM unit, memo says

Goldman Sachs has appointed insiders William Connolly and Michael Voris as co-heads of Equity Capital Markets (ECM) in the Americas, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Wednesday.

Goldman Sachs has appointed insiders Chris Connolly and Doug Voris as the new co-heads of its Americas Equity Capital Markets (ECM) unit, effective immediately.

The appointment aims to leverage their extensive experience to enhance Goldman Sachs' position in the ECM market, which has seen increased activity due to a rebound in equity markets and a surge in IPOs and follow-on offerings.
