McColgan will report to James Gorman, who was recently promoted to co-president.

According to published reports, McColgan will begin in April and will oversee the firm’s more than 8,300 advisers.

While at Fidelity Investments, it had been speculated that McColgan might take over Edward “Ned’ Johnson III’s reins at the firm.
