Peter Amory Weinberg (born c. 1957) is an American businessman. He spent almost twenty years of his career at Goldman Sachs before co-founding Perella Weinberg Partners with merger specialist, Joseph Perella in 2006. The firm provides M&A advisory and alternative asset management services. Weinberg serves as its Head of Advisory and Founding Partner.
Weinberg attended Deerfield Academy, received his undergraduate degree at Claremont McKenna College in 1979, and earned his MBA at Harvard Business School in 1983.
Weinberg started his career as an analyst at Morgan Stanley & Co in 1979, where he worked before and after attending Harvard Business School. Weinberg was with Morgan Stanley’s Corporate Finance Department from 1986 to 1988.
He joined Goldman Sachs in 1988 and became a partner in 1992. He held a number of senior management positions at the firm. He founded the Financial Sponsors Group, led Investment Banking Services, ran the Communications, Media and Telecom Group, and co-headed the Global Investment Banking Division. Weinberg rose to CEO of Goldman Sachs International, a position he occupied in London from 1999 to 2005. He served on the firm’s Management Committee and also led the firm’s European Management Committee.
In 2005, after having served as chief executive of Goldman Sachs International for seven years, Weinberg decided he wanted to start a new company. Former vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, Joseph Perella, was also planning on starting a new company. The two connected, and they formed a partnership in 2005. They launched their new business in 2006. The company, called Perella Weinberg Partners, is an advisory and asset-management firm based in New York and London. It has expanded since its formation, with approximately 450 employees, approximately $10.5 billion in assets, and offices in Abu Dhabi, Denver, Dubai, and San Francisco. Weinberg currently serves as Partner of the firm. Since co-founding the firm in 2006, Weinberg has advised clients on over $800 billion of transactions.
