Nationality: American
Year of Birth: 1946
Work History: Fuld acted as the managing director for Lehman Brothers, from 1969 to 1984. He was also nominated as the vice chairperson of Shearson Lehman Brothers in 1984 - a post that he maintained until 1990. In 1994, he was given the post of the chief executive officer and the chairperson of Lehman Brothers Holdings - a post that expired by 2008.
Education: Richard S Fuld Jr obtained his graduate degree in Bachelor of Arts from University of Colorado in 1969. Busy schedules made him to opt for night colleges - and in 1973, he was awarded Masters in Business Administration by New York University Stern School of Business.
Bio: Lehman Brothers Holdings used to be a bond house in the 60s. Through tactful practices, Richard S Fuld Jr could metamorphose the company into a major investment-banking provider. Humble beginnings and hard work helped him to resettle from the role of a profit making paper trader to the chief executive officer of the company. Peers used to see him as a trader, who had adept managerial skills. Fuld appointed twenty-two managers who were asked to report back with various operational status of the firm - a notion that led to the explosive growth of the Lehman Brothers Holdings.
One has to acknowledge that the investment sector often witnessed ruthless aggressive practices - stern and disciplined activities with minimum interactions with the outside world helped him to carve a spectacular niche among the corporate executives of his time. Although the firm observed many firefights between the top executives - often, to fatten personal pockets - Fuld could steer the company clear off eminent bankruptcy on incalculable occasions. Fuld outlived the struggle for power and wealth in the corporate environment.
Problems with American Express often aggravated Fuld, who was already renowned for an ungovernable temperament. Innumerable troublesome but smartest minds that had molded a secure future for Lehman Brothers Holdings were laid off and the existing employees witnessed drastic pay cuts during his reign. Competitors very often disapproved of his business practices; but Fuld pledged and gave away performance enhancements to Lehman Holdings on unnumbered occasions.
