In a few seconds, Anne Tatlock's job turned from the daily grind of wealth management to a fight for the survival of Fiduciary Trust Co. International.
But five months after terrorists turned a jetliner into a fireball that swept through Fiduciary's World Trade Center headquarters -- leaving 87 employees among the nearly 2,900 dead -- the subsidiary of San Mateo-based Franklin Resources Inc. has quietly taken care of its own while rebuilding its business.
For Tatlock, Fiduciary's chairman and CEO, that's meant finding a new home for the firm, overseeing the recovery of computer files from a backup system, and keeping its ultra-rich clients on board while it navigates them through uncertain market conditions. It's also meant filling 87 key jobs -- among them a director of human resources, the chief corporate lawyer, a senior vice president and other vice presidents -- and providing assistance for those victims' families.
"Our goal was not to hire 87 exact people," Tatlock said, "because those people do not exist."
