Goldman's Richard Gnodde: a poster boy for the UK non-dom exodus
Richard Gnodde is a Davos regular. At the annual jamboree of world business leaders in the snow-capped Swiss mountains, the Goldman Sachs veteran has won a reputation for being able to field questions on global commerce.
But at this year's gathering in January, Gnodde, 65, found himself talking about his own career after the Wall Street bank announced that he would be stepping down as chief executive of its international arm to become vice-chairman.
Gnodde had spent two decades becoming one of the highest-profile bankers on London's financial scene. In his clipped South African accent, he proclaimed he was 'thrilled to have the remit to really operate broadly around the world and spend time with our people, our clients'.

Indivior to delist from London Stock Exchange, maintain Nasdaq listing
June 2 (Reuters) - Pharma firm Indivior (INDV.L), opens new tab said on Monday it will cancel its secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange, effective July 25, maintaining its primary listing on the Nasdaq to reduce costs and better align with its U.S.-centric business. The company, known for its opioid addiction treatment, joins a growing number of companies delisting from London, as lower valuations and weak investor appetite continue to drive firms toward U.S. markets. Shares of Indivior, which floated in London in late 2014, have dropped more than 60% from record highs hit in June 2018. The company said over 80% of its revenue now comes from the U.S., with the Nasdaq (NDAQ.O), opens new tab accounting for about 75% of recent trading volumes. The delisting aims to streamline operations and reflect the company's strategic focus on the U.S. market, it said. Indivior moved its primary listing to the United States last year. The decision to delist from London comes just months after Indivior overhauled its management. Earlier this year, it appointed David Wheadon as chair and Joe Ciaffoni as CEO.
