Ed Johnson II used him to build the business and groom Ed III. He helped transforming the firm's business.
On Fidelity's site, his joining of the fund is shown as a milestone for the firm! (https://personal.fidelity.com/myfidelity/InsideFidelity/Timeline/scrollerHoriz25Z.swf)
He did well in philanthropic work, including founding the Tsai Performance Center in BU. (https://www.bu.edu/tsai/facility/gerald-tsai.html).
I heard about him 15yrs ago from a white colleague. He spoke of Tsai with great admiration, it perked up my interest in the guy.
