Trevor Burgess: Defying Odds and Prejudice

Radiate with Betty Liu

An amazing and emotional story this week from C1 Financial CEO, Trevor Burgess. Before launching the community bank in Florida, Trevor was a senior banker at Morgan Stanley where he took several well-known companies public including Chipotle. He took a chance leaving the security of Wall Street to go out on his own. But that's just one of the braver things Trevor has done. He's also widely recognized as the first openly gay CEO of a publicly listed bank. In this conversation, we talked about how he thrived despite discrimination and his childhood struggles when his mother had a hard time putting food on the table.
