Goldman Sachs on Barroso: That decision had nothing to do with the outcome of the Brexit vote

“Jose Manuel Barroso joined as Chairman of Goldman Sachs International, he will also help advise our clients in Europe and around the world on a range of issues. That decision had nothing to do with the outcome of the Brexit vote”, Goldman Sachs said in a statement.

“Indeed, we began our discussions at a time when the prevailing view was that the Remain campaign would succeed, an outcome we would have preferred and publicly supported”, Goldman Sachs added.
