Spear’s Review
An executive director at Goldman Sachs, Oliver Patterson heads up the multinational investment bank’s private wealth management offering in the UK, providing a bespoke investment service to ultra-high-net-worth individuals, families and foundations. The promotion to his current role in 2021 coincided with an expansion of the firm’s private wealth business in Europe.
Patterson has worked at Goldman for over two decades, joining as an analyst in the early 2000s before serving as chief financial officer in the EMEA private wealth team, head of new private wealth development for EMEA and Asia, and, most recently, as the bank’s head of client and relationship managers.
Patterson, who is multilingual, has a degree in French and Italian from the University of Manchester.
