Fidelity Investments President Rodger Lawson said yesterday he will step down from the No. 2 position at the Boston financial services giant on March 31. The company did not announce a successor. Instead Chairman and CEO Edward C. “Ned’’ Johnson III and the firm’s executive committee will step in, while Lawson will become a full-time adviser. But the move raises the prospect that Abigail Johnson could finally succeed her father in running the family business,
according to The Boston Globe.
