In honor of BusinessMakers: Breakout Leaders, we salute Managing Director and Co-Chairman of Investment Banking at Lazard Ltd. William M. "Bill" Lewis, Jr., who speaks about his passion for investment banking, the beginning of his career at Morgan Stanley in New York City, and his commitment to philanthropy.
Ranked the thirteenth most powerful African American executive in the country by Fortune magazine, Bill Lewis has served as Managing Director and Co-Chairman of Investment Banking at Lazard Ltd., an asset and advisory firm, since 2004.

He received his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School in 1982 before returning to Morgan Stanley’s Mergers and Acquisitions Department as an associate, where he spent the next six years working on buyouts of AMF, Hammermill and Children’s World. After a short stint as the department head for Morgan Stanley Midwest Mergers and Acquisitions, Lewis was made Managing Director for Morgan Stanley, becoming the first African American and the youngest individual to hold that title. Soon thereafter, Lewis was promoted to co-head of the Worldwide Real Estate Department as well as president and chief operating officer of Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds.
