In 2000 he was a board member of Citigroup and voted to oust former Citicorp CEO, John S. Reed, in favor of Sandy Weill who was co-CEO with Reed at the time and when influential analyst Jack Grubman agreed to write an upgraded favorable opinion of AT&T which was a reversal of Grubman's opinion just prior to that time.
