Goldman’s Chavez, Schwartz, Salame Power the High Line’s Benefit

  • Ackman, J. Tomilson Hill and John Mack also guests at dinner
  • Event teases super-reclining benches, offers sunset views

At Harvard’s commencement on Thursday, Marty Chavez, chief information officer of Goldman Sachs, will be wearing a top hat and tails to toast future world leaders in his first outing as a member of the school’s Board of Overseers.

On Monday night, the proceedings were less formal, but the concentration of power no less impressive as Friends of the High Line honored Chavez, filmmaker Wendy Keys and Coach Inc. (represented by Chief Executive Officer Victor Luis), in the company of Goldman’s chief strategy officer, Stephen Scherr, its chief financial officer, Harvey Schwartz, securities division co-head Pablo Salame and former CFO David Viniar, who skipped his weekly basketball game to attend.
