NEW YORK — Merrill Lynch chief executive John Thain said Thursday he has no plans to leave the brokerage and work at the White House if John McCain is elected president.
Thain, chairman of McCain’s finance committee, said at the company’s annual meeting that he’s not posturing to become Treasury secretary or seeking any other post.
Merrill Lynch brought Thain on board last year after the ouster of former CEO Stan O’Neal amid steep losses linked to the credit crisis.
