Elisha Wiesel
Shlomo Elisha Wiesel (born June 6, 1972) is an American businessman and philianthropist. He is the only child of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Elie Wiesel. Wiesel worked for Goldman Sachs for 25 years, until 2019. Afterwards, he worked as a hedge fund manager and is currently the chairman of the board of the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity.
Shlomo Elisha Wiesel was born in 1972.
His father, Elie Wiesel, was a Holocaust survivor, author, professor, activist, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient of Hungarian Jewish and Romanian Jewish descent, whose hometown was Sighet, Romania. Elisha's paternal grandmother and his father's younger sister were killed in the gas chambers in the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Elisha's mother, Marion Wiesel, was a Holocaust survivor born in Vienna, Austria, of Austrian Jewish descent, who came to the United States shortly after World War II with her family, with the help of HIAS, then known as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society.
He was raised on the Upper West Side and Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, attending Modern Orthodox yeshiva Ramaz on the Upper East Side, and suburban New Jersey.
Wiesel then attended Yale University, graduating with a B.S. in computer science in 1994. After graduating from Yale, he spent a few months doing basic military training in Israel.
Wiesel joined the J. Aron commodities division of Goldman Sachs in 1994, after the head of J. Aron strats (the code-writers whose computer models and algorithms power the firm's trading desks) convinced him to give up his initial preference of working in the video game industry. At the time, technology was in its earliest days in banking. At Goldman he worked for Lloyd Blankfein and Gary Cohn, who ended up leading the firm.
In 2002, at the age of 30, he became a managing director, and a partner in 2004. Wiesel later served as the chief risk officer of its securities division (which houses Goldman's technology-intensive trading business), and global head of its securities division desk strategists.
