This month, Grain’s Founder & CEO, David J. Grain, joined other Black business leaders and innovators for Goldman Sachs’ annual Views from the Vineyard summer reception. Joined by President & COO of Goldman Sachs, John Waldron, David shared the Firm’s core philosophy of “Doing the Right things, for the Right reasons, in the Right way, at the Right time.” These four Rs drive everything we do at the Firm, from evaluating investments, to growing our employee base and empowering our partners. Thank you to Goldman Sachs for inviting David to speak. We look forward to attending next year’s reception and hearing from other industry leaders.
Last week, we convened a vibrant community of 60 clients, Goldman Sachs colleagues, and members of our broader network in Martha’s Vineyard for our annual Views from the Vineyard summer reception. Hosted by John Waldron, Nicole Pullen Ross, and Amal Alibair, this event gathered Black leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs for a conversation on the power of representation and inclusion. We heard from David J. Grain, founder and CEO of Grain Management, LLC, who shared an anecdote on being a successful leader. He utilizes the concept of R to the 4th Power: “Doing the Right things, for the Right reasons, in the Right way, at the Right time.” Thank you to all who joined us for an engaging and special day!
