大摩高管婉拒E*Trade掌門人寶座
|
????在線交易公司E*Trade以一系列的“交易寶貝”電視廣告而出名，如今它或許得給臨時保姆支付加班費了。 ????在最有望執(zhí)掌E*Trade的候選人中，有一位據(jù)稱對此并不感興趣。他就是掌管摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）經(jīng)紀(jì)業(yè)務(wù)并負(fù)責(zé)整合美邦（Smith Barney）的格雷格?弗萊明。據(jù)接近弗萊明的幾位消息人士稱，弗萊明稱，他沒有計劃要離開當(dāng)前的工作。 ????自從8月初電子交易金融公司（E*Trade Financial）的董事會將斯蒂文?弗瑞伯格革職后，該公司的CEO職位就一直空缺。弗萊明據(jù)傳是E*Trade首選的CEO人選之一，但這位摩根士丹利高管的個人表態(tài)顯然打消了這種可能。與此同時，一直在勉力追趕競爭對手TD Ameritrade和嘉信理財（Charles Schwab）的E*Trade已任命董事長弗蘭克?佩特里利出任臨時CEO。佩特里利每個月可從這項臨時工作中獲得50萬美元。 ????弗萊明在華爾街很受尊重，而且據(jù)稱與E*Trade最大的外部股東之一、城堡投資集團（Citadel Investment）的負(fù)責(zé)人肯?格里芬關(guān)系密切。 ????弗拉明于2009年底加入摩根士丹利，已成為該公司一顆冉冉升起的新星。在此之前，他曾是美林（Merrill Lynch）的總裁和首席運營官，在金融危機頂峰時期美國銀行（Bank of America）收購美林的交易中起到了重要作用，這項收購被廣泛認(rèn)為避免了美林的倒閉。盡管如此，弗萊明在這筆交易完成后不久就離開了合并后的公司。據(jù)傳格里芬早在2009年就曾聯(lián)系過弗萊明、希望他出任E*Trade一把手，但弗萊明決定到摩根士丹利任職。 ????另據(jù)報道，掌管富國銀行（Wells Fargo）資產(chǎn)管理子公司的戴維?卡羅爾也在E*Trade 公司CEO職位的考慮人選之列。 ????E*Trade發(fā)言人表示，公司尚未正式提名任何CEO候選人。他說，公司即將聘請一家高管獵頭公司，并已經(jīng)任命了5位董事加入遴選委員會。 ????譯者：早稻米 |
????E*Trade may have to pay its babysitter overtime. ????One of the top candidates to run the online trading firm, which is known for its trading baby television ads, says he isn't interested in the job. Greg Fleming, who heads Morgan Stanley's brokerage division and is overseeing its integration with Smith Barney, says he has no plans to leave his current position, according to sources close to Fleming. ????The Morgan Stanley (MS) executive's decision eliminates one of E*Trade Financial's (ETFC) reportedly top choices to take over the firm's CEO slot, which was vacated in early Augustwhen Steven Frieberg was ousted by the firm's board of directors. In the meantime, E*Trade, which has struggled to keep up with competitors TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab, has appointed the chairman of its board Frank Petrilli to be the firm's interim CEO. Petrilli is getting $500,000 a month to fill the temp job. ????Fleming is well-regarded on Wall Street and is reportedly close to Citadel Investment chief Ken Griffin, who is one of E*Trade's largest outside shareholders. ????Fleming joined Morgan Stanley in late 2009 and is a rising star at the firm. Before that he was the President and COO of Merrill Lynch, and was instrumental is inking the acquisition of Merrill by Bank of America at the height of the financial crisis, which is widely seen as having saved Merrill from collapse. Nonetheless, Fleming left the combined firm shortly after the deal was completed. Griffin reportedly approached Fleming about taking over the top slot at E*Trade back in 2009, but Fleming decided to go to Morgan Stanley instead. ????David Carroll, who runs Wells Fargo's asset management unit, is also reportedly under consideration for the E*Trade job. ????An E*Trade spokesman said the firm hasn't official named any candidates for its CEO job. He said the firm is close to hiring an executive search firm and has named five board members to its search committee. |
