Todd Mansfield, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs had an unexpected trajectory – from nuclear engineering to software engineering.  

After tackling the hardest major in college, he found his way into a software engineering job where he discovered that there was a gap in software testing.  

He co-founded a startup that provided testing services to financial services companies. Ironically, Goldman Sachs was his first client.

Fast forward a few years later, he’s now Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, leading a global data engineering team.  

From founding a startup, to transitioning to a major corporation he shares his lessons learned on being flexible, on understanding the problems he’s trying to solve, and on building diverse teams.
