Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, has faced immense personal tragedy throughout his life. Losing his mother at age 16 and his father at age 18, Lutnick and his siblings became inseparable as they navigated these heartbreaking losses together.
However, the most devastating blow came on September 11, 2001, when Lutnick's brother, Gary, and 657 colleagues at Cantor Fitzgerald lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Lutnick, who was spared that day as he was taking his son to kindergarten, vividly recalls the emotional toll of that tragic event.
