In the six years I was CEO of the securities services business , it was very difficult at times . You are always on the road , visiting clients , and you bring back with you all the learning and growth that you get from the marketplace . There are many successes and there are many , many lessons you learn or things you could have done better . But for me , it ’ s always about the team that you have working with you . It ’ s always the team that makes a difference . It ’ s the people that are with you that are on the journey . You need to make sure that you are empowering them to make decisions , making sure that they have the right tools and the skills . The biggest success is really about what the team has done , never about the individual in terms of delivering for clients and running these large transformational projects . As I mentioned , Broadridge recently bought the Itiviti business , which we now call Broadridge Trading and Connectivity Solutions . That was a $ 2.6 billion acquisition . It ’ s the largest acquisition that Broadridge has ever made . To be driving that and integrating it while creating numerous growth opportunities for our associates and solutions for our clients is actually very exciting and rewarding . But , as I said , it ’ s never about one person because there ’ s always a team of individuals who make things happen . And that ’ s really the fun part of the job .
