John Francis William Rogers[1] (born April 15, 1956) is an American businessman, serving as executive vice president, chief of staff, and secretary to the board of Goldman Sachs.
[2] Rogers was born on April 15, 1956 in Seneca Falls, New York, where his father owned a wholesale frozen foods business and his mother was a dental hygienist.
[3] In 1994, Rogers joined Goldman Sachs in its Fixed Income Division and eventually became the chief of staff to CEOs Jon S. Corzine, Henry Paulson, Lloyd Blankfein, and David M. Solomon.
[6] In September 2019, Rogers was one of the US financial community representatives invited to the White House state dinner for Prime Minister of Australia Scott Morrison.
Mr. Rogers, a slight, retiring man with a preference for tan raincoats, brings the kind of technical staff expertise and, his friends say, the ability to gravitate toward the seat of power in bureaucracies that recall Le Carré's spymaster.
