In September, as part of their succession plan for Morgan Stanley, the board of directors announced a decision to split the roles of chairman and chief executive.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch had split the roles before that, appointing long-serving board member Walter Massey as chairman before the resignation of Ken Lewis as chief executive, who had combined the roles in 2001.
