Mr. Abelow managed Goldman’s Operations Division which was responsible for the global processing and corporate services functions of the firm.

The framework also led to the creation of the Goldman Sachs Center for Environmental Markets.

At Goldman, he was a member of the Firm’s Risk, Partnership, Compensation, Managing Director Training and Space Committees.
