Greg Fleming - Rockefeller Capital Managment

Greg Fleming is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Rockefeller Capital Management, a role he has held since the firm, formerly known as Rockefeller & Co., launched in March 2018.

Greg and I discuss the pivotal Lehman weekend in September of 2008 when he was instrumental in the sale of Merrill Lynch to Bank of America, his thoughts on organic growth and mergers in wealth management, the founding of Rockefeller Capital with Viking and building on the legacy of the Rockefeller family office, growing from $18 billion to $140 billion in six years, the importance of horizontal connectivity in a large organization and his belief that nice guys can finish first.

Prior to Rockefeller, Greg was the President of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and Morgan Stanley Investment Management. Before joining Morgan Stanley in 2010, he served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Merrill Lynch, and previously ran Merrill’s Global Investment Banking business. Greg joined Merrill Lynch as an investment banker in 1992. He had also been a principal at Booz Allen Hamilton.  Greg is a Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of Colgate University with a bachelor’s degree in Economics. He received his J.D. from Yale Law School.
