==Biographical information==
According to ''The Times''
:A persistent myth that follows Mr Gnodde around is that he was in the South African secret services, or alternatively that country’s equivalent of the Special Boat Service. His 6ft 4 inch frame may explain these misconceptions, but in fact he did his national service in the South African navy. He read law at Cambridge, joined Goldman in 1987 and moved to Japan ten years later.

Gnodde is married with three children. Asked by The Times to give names of contacts and friends who might cast light on his character <ref name="Waller"/>

Asked by ''The Times'' to give names of contacts and friends who might cast light on his character, his chosen selection from his contact book included [[Lakshmi Mittal]]]; City Minister [[Lord Myners]]; [[Mervyn King]], Bank of England Governor; and former BP chairman [[Lord Browne]] of Madingley, 'among others equally elevated'. <ref name="Waller"/>

 A month after the new UK Coalition government took office in May 2010, Gnodde and co-CEO [[Michael Sherwood]] secured a meeting with UK Treasury minister [[Mark Hoban]]. According to SpinWatch.
 :What was discussed at this meeting, however, will never be publicly known as no agenda or formal minutes were taken, despite David Cameron's pledge that his Ministers must be “transparent about what we do and how we do it”.<ref>SpinWatch, [http://www.scribd.com/doc/51461467/Doing-God%E2%80%99s-Work-How-Goldman-Sachs-Rigs-the-Game Doing God’s Work: How Goldman Sachs Rigs the Game] - SpinWatch investigation detailing Goldman Sachs’ secret lobbying activities in the UK and Brussels and links to politicians.
