Wow, John Allison, the man who transformed BB&T from a small farm bank in eastern North Carolina to a highly profitable powerhouse in the southeast will retire at the end of the year. His right-hand man will be taking over the reins.
So what will he be doing?
When he retires, he said, he plans to work with the college programs he’s helped start and maybe write a few books on the real-world consequences of different financial philosophies.
Fantastic!
