Described as Chrétien's "Machiavelli",[1] from 1993 until 2003 he was chief policy advisor to the Prime Minister,[2] becoming chief of staff in 2003.[3] Along with Jean Pelletier and Aline Chrétien, he was considered Chrétien's most influential political guide.[4] Goldenberg's 2006 memoir, The Way It Works, focused on his time in government.[5]. He is the son of former Canadian Senator and lawyer Carl Goldenberg.
