Vernon Hill II, founder of Metro Bank, London, former chairman and president of Commerce Bank, and chairman of Petplan North America, recently sat down with Dr. Michael Williams, dean of the University's School of Business and Management, at Hotel ML in Mt. Laurel, N.J., as part of the Camden County Chamber of Commerce's 'Game Changers' series. The pair discussed Hill's transformation of the American retail banking experience.

By 2007, the pioneer in the retail banking industry had expanded to nearly 500 locations and had 15,000 employees. Learn how Hill piloted this endeavor in the spring Invention magazine article.
