While Goldman is best known for creating the revolving door, where it either soaks up SEC "regulators", spawns countless central bankers, Treasury Secretaries like Hank Paulson (whose departure from the firm allowed him a tax free cash out on his vested GS equity), NJ governors and client fund comminglers like Jon Corzine, a new function was revealed today: providing sabbaticals for the spouses of presidential candidates. Case in point: Heidi Cruz, who left Goldman Sachs last year to help her husband Ted Cruz in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination, is returning to the bank in a newly created role in the Houston office.
According to Bloomberg which first reported the story, Cruz will focus on helping to win new clients, focusing on strategic relationships, and report to David Fox, head of private wealth management for the southwest region, according to a memo to staff on Friday.
Here is her latest bio:
Heidi Suzanne Cruz is an American investment manager at Goldman Sachs. She served in the Bush White House as the economic director for the Western Hemisphere at the National Security Council, as the director of the Latin America Office at the U.S. Treasury Department, as Special Assistant to U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick, and as economic policy advisor to the 2000 George W. Bush presidential campaign. She is the wife of Republican Texas senator and former 2016 U.S. presidential candidate Ted Cruz.
Perhaps this answers the question why her husband Ted was unable to endorse Trump during the RNC.
While normally we would say that unlike Wells Fargo, at least Heidi won't be instructing her minions to open fake accounts for ultra rich clients, now that Goldman is a full-scale bank, with a retail deposit operation, we can't be so certain.

I for one will not turn my back on Cruz. I’ve already donated to his 2018 campaign. I’m a Texan. Not currently living in Texas but will still donate.
2016 was an ugly primary season but . . . not going to turn on Cruz.
I’ll vote for Trump . . . over Hillary.
Just leave the Cruz family alone and concentrate on defeating the Clinton crime family.
I agree. 100%.
Goldman Sachs makes hundreds of millions of dollars facilitating welfare transfer payments.
Goldman Sachs is the jewel in the crown of US crony capitalism/corporatism.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot .. what was it Trump said about the NJ/NY bomber .. “he should be designated as an enemy combatant” ..???
Guess what .. according to the Constitution, that is not legal .. because the bomber was already a naturalized CITIZEN .. not immigrant status.
Therefore, it only took a few minutes until Trump was corrected .. but Ted would have kept him from even saying such an ignorant thing.
Trump is very smart .. but he’s probably not an expert on Constitutional law.
It is a dirty job but somebody has to do it. Until a bunch of somebody’s eliminate welfare payments.
Me too.
But, I’m in San Diego
Enough!!!
You don’t like Cruz .. FINE
Get over it.
btw—I am of Jewish heritage for anyone who wants to play the anti-Semitism card.
Well the CFR controls both parties... That goes far beyond the old Jewish banker prejudice and stands the anti-Semitism card on its head. How many Arab groups and individuals are part of the globalist cabal?
You get over it.
The Cruz couple are proving to be the republucan version of the Cluntons. They want power and money. Every action they take shows this
It’s the revolving door between the federal government and GS that grates my nerves.
You said, “Ted’s skill and knowledge of the Constitution is possibly going to be critical for Trump to learn .. and nobody more able to give that info.”
Really? So funny that MISTER CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR can’t figure out that he- himself- fails to meet the requirements defined in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 on Presidential Eligibility.
The fact that his mother was once a US citizen does not make him NBC any more than King Hussein’s son from Jordan born to his American born wife, Lisa Halaby- Queen Noor.
Glad for his belated endorsement, none the less. I hope he sways voters outside the prairie states. Perhaps he helps in Colorado, and that’s important.
Well .. here we go again.
This is my final comment: I DON’T SEE ANY OF YOU WHINERS COMPLAINING ABOUT OBAMA BEING PRESIDENT - AND HIS FATHER WAS NOT A US CITIZEN ..??????
FUNNY THING .. THE TRUTH BELIES YOUR STUPIDITY.
I’m done with this stupid conversation.
