Stanley O'Neal
American business executive
Earnest Stanley O'Neal (born October 7, 1951[2]) is an American business executive who was chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch from 2003 through 2007, having served in numerous senior management positions at the company prior to this appointment.
O'Neal was criticized for his performance during his tenure as chief executive at Merrill Lynch, where he oversaw the deterioration of the firm's stability and capital position, which resulted in his ouster in October 2007, and the firm's eventual fire sale to Bank of America one year later.[3] Prior to his tenure as chairman and CEO, Merrill Lynch had thrived as a stand-alone company since 1914.
In 2002, O'Neal was named the “Most Powerful Black Executive in America” by Fortune magazine.
O'Neal was a member of the board of directors of General Motors from 2001 through 2006. He also served on the board of Alcoa.
