Former Trump aide Dina Powell rejoining Goldman Sachs: report

Former White House adviser Dina Powell will rejoin Goldman Sachs as part of the company’s management committee, Politico reported Tuesday.

Powell will focus on “enhancing the firm’s relationships with sovereign clients around the world,” the company wrote in an email to employees.

“She will also work to enhance other important client relationships at the firm. In addition, Dina will also assume overall responsibility for the firm’s corporate engagement initiatives,” executives wrote in the email obtained by Politico.

Powell left her post in January as a top national security adviser in the Trump administration, and reportedly had been in talks to return to Goldman Sachs.

She was reportedly an ally of senior advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner in their internal White House battle with the nationalist wing of the administration, which was at the time led by former chief strategist Stephen Bannon. 

She originally joined Goldman Sachs in 2007 and was made a partner in 2010 before leaving to join the Trump administration early last year.
