CEO Opinions

Potential candidates for the next CEO position at Morgan Stanley.

James P. Gorman

The CEO of Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), James Gorman, has announced his intention to resign from his position within a year. Morgan Stanley has a strong group of potential internal candidates, three of which are the most probable options. James Gorman was recently ranked No. 1 in a list of the world’s best CEOs for 2023; meanwhile, Morgan Stanley ranked No. 6 in the CEOWORLD magazine’s ranking of the most influential companies in the world.

Three potential CEO candidates: Over the next few months, Morgan Stanley’s board will be working on succession planning with their compensation, management development, and succession committee. This committee, chaired by DENNIS M. NALLY, will report to the full board, led by independent director THOMAS H. GLOCER.

CEOWORLD magazine reached out to Morgan Stanley spokespeople for comment on the three potential candidates, but no response was given. Below are biographies of the candidates who are all members of Morgan Stanley’s operating committee.

EDWARD (TED) PICK, 54
