Biography

Born on January 2, 1932, in Queens, New York, Tully studied accounting at St. John's University and subsequently served two years in the United States Army.[3] He joined Merrill Lynch in 1955 as a trainee, later became a major broker based in Stamford, Connecticut.[4]

In 1985, Tully was appointed president and COO of Merrill Lynch, assuming the role of CEO in 1992 and chairman in 1993.[4][5] During his tenure, Merrill Lynch expanded its global operations and increased its focus on investment banking.[4][1] However, it also faced challenges, notably the 1994 bankruptcy of Orange County, California, which resulted in a $437 million settlement due to Merrill Lynch's advisory role.[4][1]

After retiring from Merrill Lynch in 1997, Tully co-founded Fieldpoint Private Bank and Trust in 2008.[1]
