He also served as President of Scottrade Financial Services and UMB Financial Corporation, as well as being a senior leader at Fidelity Investments.As well as his extensive business career, Peter is also shaped by his experience with a debilitating neurological condition, Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) disease, something he chose not to share with others for decades. He says “I believe that life experiences test the impressions people hold, values they set and believe, or a set of actions that people might want – or not want – to emulate."I’m looking forward to hearing more about his journey in business and in life, how he balanced wellbeing and work, and the moments of remarkable clarity that shaped his path.--Peter de Silva: https://peterjdesilva.com/Peter de Silva on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-j-desilva/Taking Stock: 10 Life and Leadership Principles from My Seat at the Table: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Takin....g-Stock-Leadership-P
