Fidelity CEO Abigail Johnson Succeeds Father As Chairman

November 21, 2016

Fidelity Chairman Edward ‘Ned’ Johnson III announced on Monday that his daughter, CEO Abigail Johnson, will succeed him as chairman of the financial services company, unifying the 2 positions.  Mr. Johnson will become "chairman emeritus." He described the move as a "natural progression of Abby's 28-year career at Fidelity," and said he has never felt more confident about the company's future than he does now.

 

"Throughout Fidelity's long history of growth, our dual commitments to our customers and to innovation have served us well," Johnson III said in the memo. "By investing in technology and using the Kaizen method of continuous improvement, we have built a strong brand, industry-leading positions and multiple profitable businesses."

 

Kaizen is a Japanese concept of incremental and perpetual improvement in the management of an organization.
