The best CEO under whom I ever worked

was Dennis Weatherstone, who passed away last week. A nice professional bio here.

I still remember chatting with him and his lovely wife, Marion, at a 60 Wall Street Christmas party back in 1992. We spoke about General Motors development (on whose board he sat). The consummate warrior poet. My favorite Weatherstone quote:

We don't avoid risk; we manage it.

Farewell, Sir Dennis.

(I also worked under his replacement, Douglas "Don't Build Your Bank on the 'Sandy' land" Warner, as well as John "The King of Wall St." Gutfreund and his replacement Deryck Maughan. My other CEOs are not of American banks).
