He has held several positions within the company, including president of Fidelity Institutional Group and prior to that, president of Fidelity Management & Research Company. Burkhead said that he has plans to invest in and work with a number of start-up companies as well as sit on a number of corporate boards.

Cone has resigned from his position as head of marketing for Fidelity's mutual fund, high net worth, retail brokerage, interactive services and retirement services operations to "pursue a new career opportunity in New York City."
