Donohoe was hired by Goldman Sachs in 1992, originally working in the financial institutions and merger businesses within investment banking. She joined GSAM in 1996, and has held a variety of roles in the investment management division.
Some of her prior positions include head of corporate development, chief of staff of IMD, co-head of GSAM Europe, and head of the North America client businesses. She became a managing director and partner of Goldman Sachs in 2000.
