The Honorable John C. Whitehead, former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs, deputy secretary of state, and chairman of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, with Achim Moeller, April 1989

Achim’s guidance has been invaluable.

He has saved me more than once from making a bad mistake, and he’s brought a number of opportunities to my attention that I would not have known of otherwise.

Best of all, he’s been absolutely honest with his opinions, and has never pushed me into a purchase.
