Careers at Goldman Sachs are known for opening doors — to politics, private equity and... pastry.

Crystelle Pereira, a contestant in the 2021 iteration of the wildly popular Great British Bake Off, is an insurance analyst at the US investment bank in London. Pereira, who impressed judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith with her intricate icing flowers in the first week of the show, is the second Goldman Sachs employee on the show within three years.
