Feb 26 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs GS.N is adding its president and chief operating officer John Waldron to the board, effective immediately, it said in a regulatory filing on Wednesday.
The appointment comes a month after he was given a retention bonus of $80 million in restricted stock. Waldron is widely seen as a successor to the Wall Street giant's CEO David Solomon.
The bank also added Accenture ACN.N Chief Financial Officer KC McClure as an independent director of the board.
