I couldn't agree more. I look forward to crafting the future with you. Bob Meanwhile, Reuters reports that Moynihan said at an engagement in Los Angeles, "This is a great company and I will continue to do a great job for it, no matter what the outcome." Moynihan is one of two internal candidates being considered for the CEO position. Chief risk officer Greg Curl is the other internal candidate.
