Mack announced his retirement as Chief Executive Officer on September 10, 2009, which was effective January 1, 2010. Former Co-President James P. Gorman succeeded him as CEO.
Born in 1944, Mack was the sixth son to Lebanese immigrants of Melchite and Greek Orthodox origin. His father, Charles, came to America at the age of 12, following his father who had arrived at Ellis Island in 1908 and had settled in North Carolina. Charles ran a wholesale grocery store in Mooresville, N.C.
Mack graduated from Duke University in 1968, where he attended on a football scholarship and is now a member of the Board of Trustees.
Mack's first job in finance was as a clerk at a small brokerage house during his junior year at Duke, after a cracked vertebra made it impossible for him to continue on his football scholarship.
