Goldman Sachs Group Inc. needs to do a better job elevating women to its top ranks, new heir apparent David Solomon said recently. He has his work cut out for him.

“You make progress, but the progress as you’re looking at it day to day feels slow, and it feels slow because you’re a big organization,” Solomon told the Women in Corporate Leadership Initiative in January. He couldn’t give a good reason when asked why women haven’t climbed higher. “But you know over time that will change. It’s our job to change it.”
