Highlights from our
Chairman and CEO
It was a very challenging year as we battled virus variants, supply-chain problems, workforce uncertainty, inflationary surges, tax unpredictability, and bitter discord. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, as during the year we also saw scientific advances in COVID-19 treatments, higher economic activity, strong housing markets, and rising stock prices.
We are reminded that the future is always far from certain, and we are drawn once again to a letter our founder Henry Phipps shared with his children more than a century ago. “Realizing that changed conditions may arise which will require freedom in action to meet them,” Mr. Phipps wisely noted, “I have not fixed rigid limitations.”
Looking forward, we know that unexpected events will continue to come our way. We are preparing for what may be next with the agility and resilience our founder instilled in Bessemer long ago. We will not change our singular business focus, our emphasis on the long term, and our culture of integrity and collaboration with clients. Staying true to who we are is at the heart of our ability to bring expertise to you that can make a real difference.
We thank you for your confidence and trust in us.
