Richard Parsons, one of corporate America's most prominent Black executives who held top posts at Time Warner and Citigroup, died Thursday, the financial services company Lazard, where Parsons was a longtime board member, announced. He was 76.
"Dick was the leader to whom other leaders turned for advice and a steady, sure set of hands during their most consequential moments," Lazard said in a statement.
Parsons, who died at his Manhattan home, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2015 and cited "unanticipated complications" from the disease for cutting back on work a few years later.
