Please note: the luncheon portion of this program is SOLD OUT but lecture-only seats are available.

In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, banks were compelled to adapt to a new environment characterized by increased regulation, difficult markets and a heightened risk aversion on the part of stakeholders. Under the leadership of Chairman and Chief Executive James Gorman, Morgan Stanley has transformed itself, creating a balanced business model with an increased focus on more stable businesses such as wealth and asset management. The transformational acquisition of Smith Barney in 2009 vaulted Morgan Stanley into the ranks of world’s largest wealth managers, adding balance to a leading institutional securities franchise which has itself adapted and flourished in the post-crisis environment. In this program, James Gorman discusses his experiences in navigating Morgan Stanley through major structural changes, and shares his vision for the future of financial service firms.
