It turns out this particular Toady has a daughter, Caroline, who went to work for Goldman Sachs as a lawyer. You might like to read the following article from a 2009 edition of Management Today, ‘How corporate fathers can learn from their daughters’:

Caroline Carr is on the steering committee of the 30 percent club – her daddy was a founding member of the club, isn’t that nice? – and she’s now Goldman Sachs’s Head of Global Leadership and Diversity.
