President Obama on Thursday said he will nominate Goldman Sachs banker Bruce Heyman, a top bundler to his 2012 campaign, to be his ambassador to Canada.
Heyman is the managing director of Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs & Co. and one of the few executives at the financial services giant to openly support Obama.
He and his wife, Vicki, hosted a fundraiser for Obama at their Chicago home back in 2007 — when Hillary Clinton was still the Democratic front-runner — and have jointly bundled $1.7 million for the president, according to records obtained by The New York Times.
