Wiesel arrives at The Floor with his background as a senior Wall Street banking executive with more than 25 years of experience at Goldman Sachs, where he most recently served as Chief Information Officer. Wiesel joined Goldman in 1994 as a quantitative strategist in its trading businesses, where he also redesigned many aspects of risk management architecture as the trading division's Chief Risk Officer.
"I believe The Floor has transformative potential to impact the financial services industry," Wiesel said after his appointment was announced.
In addition to his time on Wall Street, Wiesel served as a technology consultant to Michael Bloomberg's 2020 presidential campaign, and for most of his career has actively engaged in philanthropic efforts, including those focused on Holocaust commemoration, social justice, and inner-city services.
