- Date not recordedWorked at Morgan Stanley4
Pick joined Morgan Stanley as an analyst in 1990 after completing his undergraduate studies and returned to the company following his MBA. His entry was facilitated through a connection with a classmate at Middlebury related to former Morgan Stanley chair S. Parker Gilbert.
In 2002, Pick was named managing director. By 2005, he was in charge of a division, and was involved in capital-raising activities during the 2008 financial crisis. He became a member of the management committee in 2008.
From 2009 to 2015, Pick was involved in global equities trading. During that time Morgan Stanley surpassed Goldman Sachs as the leading equities business, for which the firm's president Colm Kelleher credited Pick as being instrumental. He subsequently took on the role of rejuvenating Morgan Stanley's fixed-income business. This involved reducing its workforce by 25% and addressing revenue concerns. He later held the position of global head of sales and trading. Over the years, he has held various roles, including managing director and head of equity capital markets.
From 2021 to 2023, Pick served as the co-president of Morgan Stanley. He became the company's CEO at the beginning of 2024 and chairman in January 2025.
Pick is a member of The Business Council.
