Sandy Weill: Building and Breaking the World’s Largest Bank

from Great Business Stories · host Caemin

Throughout my 20’s Weill was a constant presence in the business magazines that I read because he was always doing deals, always adding a little bit more to his growing business and it all added up because by the turn of the century he had built the biggest bank in the world- a remarkable achievement- but he didn’t do it all on his own- he had his protege- Jamie Dimon, without doubt the most influential and powerful banker of the last 20 years. I dig into Weill's early years when he built his first business, sold it and then through acquisitions- some good, some bad, he built the biggest bank in the world with Dimon, we look at his relationship with Dimon, why he sacked Dimon, how that impacted his legacy- it’s a cracking story- enjoy.
