Isabelle Ealet receives excessive public attention despite her tendency to avoid it. The likelihood that she may become the first woman to head a Wall Street bank is only rising with time. Her move from global head of commodities to global co-head of securities in January 2012 generated speculation about her prospects because other prominent Goldman Sachs executives have taken a similar path. In the last year, implementing processes by new laws has been a priority focus for her division. Ealet and her team have significantly decreased risk-weighted assets and continue to manage returns on the fixed-income side.
