Morgan Stanley board names CEO Ted Pick its chair

by October 24, 2024
written by October 24, 2024

(Reuters) – Morgan Stanley said on Thursday CEO Ted Pick would be its next chair succeeding James Gorman, who has been tapped to head the board at Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) after he steps down as executive chair of the Wall Street titan at the end of the year.

Gorman will also retire from employment at Morgan Stanley and be named chairman emeritus, the statement said. However, he will serve as non-employee adviser to the bank from January 2025 through the end of 2026.

The bank is upholding a Wall Street tradition by consolidating the roles of CEO and chair – a practice that has at times come under fire for potentially concentrating too much power in a single individual.

Supporters, however, argue that such consolidation leads to quicker decision-making. The lead independent director of the board can offer sufficient oversight to ensure accountability, they say.

Pick took the reins at the start of this year after winning the race to succeed long-time CEO James Gorman.

Pick joined Morgan Stanley in 1990 and ran equity capital markets during the financial crisis. He was appointed head of sales and trading in 2015.

Earlier this week, Disney said that James Gorman would become chairman of its board on Jan. 2.
