VISIONARY INVESTMENT BANKER GEOFFREY T. BOISI, WG’71 IN 1978, ONLY SEVEN years after earning his Wharton MBA, Geoffrey Boisi became the youngest partner of Goldman, Sachs & Co. As Management Committee partner, the young banker became responsible for the firm’s worldwide investment banking activities. He then became co-founder, chairman, and CEO of The Beacon Group, LLC, a private equity and advisory firm headquartered in New York City. Boisi made a celebrated deal in 2000 when he sold Beacon for $500 million to Chase Manhattan Bank, which soon merged with J.P. Morgan & Co. Boisi served as vice chairman of investment banking for the new JP Morgan Chase, envisioning a world of giant business enterprises — “corporate city-states,” he called them — and reconfiguring the company as a combination investment and commercial bank that would serve them with a leaner, more productive staff. In 2002 JP Morgan Chase suffered heavy losses in Enron, Global Crossings, and other bad investments that preceded Boisi’s arrival. The one-time wunderkind then shocked Wall Street with a sudden early retirement amid a management shake-up by Chairman and CEO William Harrison. A bold and blunt-spoken leader, Boisi has thrown himself into charitable pursuits with characteristic vigor. A Knight of Malta and devout Catholic, Boisi serves as trustee for the Papal Foundation and Joseph P. Kennedy Enterprises. In addition, Boisi is a co-founder and chair of The National Mentoring Partnership and is a director of Communities in Schools. Throughout his career, he has continued his service to Wharton. Boisi served as co-chair with the late Mickey Tarnopol, W’58 (see p. 65), vice chairman of the Investment Banking Division of Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc, on Wharton’s Campaign for Sustained Leadership, helping the School surpass its original $350 million campaign goal to raise $445.7 million. He and Tarnopol were both honored with Wharton Dean’s Medals in 2003. Boisi currently serves on Wharton’s Board of Overseers.

Boisi is an unlikely critic of the Church. He is a member of the exclusive Knights of Malta, a conservative Catholic fraternal organization, and a Steward of St. Peter, an honorific conferred on those who donate at least $1 million to the Papal Foundation. But he is also something of a bare-knuckle businessman, who earned his first notch on Wall Street as the youngest partner in Goldman Sachs history (he was 31) before founding Beacon Group, a boutique M&A outfit, in 1993. Seven years later he cashed out Beacon to Chase Manhattan for an estimated $500 million and stayed on to become J.P. Morgan Chase's vice chairman. A ruthless cost-cutter, Boisi fired 9,000 employees over two years starting in 2000; in 2002 he himself was forced out. Since then he has devoted much of his time to matters of faith, building the Boisi Center for Religion & American Public Life at Boston College.
