Former Morgan Stanley chairman Gilbert dies at 81

摘要

Former morgan stanley chairman S Parker Gilbert, credited with taking the bank public in 1986 and lending his name and reputation to a coup that forced out former chief executive Philip Purcell in 2005, died on May 27 at age 81. "Parker's blood truly ran Morgan Stanley blue," said Morgan Stanley chief executive James Gorman in a statement. Indeed, Gilbert had very direct ties to the firm's founders. Harold Stanley was his stepfather. Stanley, the first president of the firm, married Gilbert's mother after his father, Seymour Parker Gilbert, died. Henry Morgan was his godfather.
