Talking Business
cbsi Vice President, Ken Kraetzer, is a member of the Chase Alumni Association which has regular meetings in New York City and around the world.  

Recently, Ken met with the head of the group, John Ward, a 27 veteran of Chase Manhattan Bank, serving first overseas, then later as CEO, EVP of Chase Bankcard Services. Mr. Ward was gracious to do an hour long interview for the CBSI Talking Business series. 

The discussion covers how Mr. Ward found his way into banking, the value of credit training, presenting a project to David Rockefeller, coming back from overseas to grow the credit card business and more.

This is a rare opportunity to hear first-hand from a true pioneer in banking.
