Goldman Sachs’ CIO Marco Argenti doesn’t describe himself as Chief Information Officer on LinkedIn (where he is “Engineer” instead), and despite being a partner at the investment bank and member of the management committee, gives the impression that he is ready to roll up his sleeves and start coding alongside Goldman’s 12,000+ technologists.
Maybe it’s a childhood spent tinkering with an HP-41 programmable calculator – “I built my first computer programme on an actual computer when I was 13; that was a very long time ago, by the way” he says drily – but sitting down to talk with The Stack in Goldman Sachs’ New York offices, Argenti still clearly retains a genuine enthusiasm for testing the capabilities of emerging technologies; including, yes, generative AI.
