Hugh Mc Coll
Hugh L. McColl Jr. (born 18 June 1935) is a fourth-generation banker and the former Chairman and CEO of Bank of America. McColl was a driving force behind consolidating a series of progressively larger, mostly Southern banks, thrifts and financial institutions into a super-regional banking force, "the first ocean-to-ocean bank in the nation's history" — a transformation that Tony Plath, director of banking studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, called "the most significant banking story of the late 20th century."
As a young man, McColl along with a colleague had envisioned creating the first truly national bank with branches from coast to coast.

Famous quotes containing the word hugh:
“He kicked the ball with his right foot,
And catched it with his knee,
And through and through the Jew’s window
He gared the bonny ball flee.”
—Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 5–8)
