Acquisition Quote by Lloyd Blankfein

“I got into Goldman really by acquisition because I had gone - I grew up in east New York in the Linden Projects - I did go to fancy schools, but my resume wasn't up to a Wall Street set of resumes. I went to college. I went to law school and practiced for a while.” quote by Lloyd Blankfein — Download Open image
