Edelman Financial Engines has hired Suzanne van Staveren, formerly chief financial officer for Goldman Sachs’ personal financial management group, to be its executive vice president and chief financial officer.
Van Staveren will work on Edelman’s long-term growth strategy and financial objectives and oversee a team of more than 90 professionals at the firm working on finance, strategy and small retirement plans, the company said in a release.
At Goldman, van Staveren helped integrate Ayco, the firm’s workplace financial planning business, and United Capital. Previously, she was chief operating officer of the Americas institutional business within Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Earlier in her career, she worked at Fidelity Investments and AXA in a variety of finance and strategic functions.
