JP MORGAN CHASE
Under Jamie Dimon’s leadership, JPMorgan Chase has become the largest U.S. bank by market capitalization and a global leader in financial services.
He steered the firm through the 2008 financial crisis, avoiding the worst excesses of the housing bubble while orchestrating strategic acquisitions of Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.
Dimon first rose to prominence as the protégé of Sandy Weill, helping build Citigroup through a series of landmark mergers.
After his ouster from Citi, he became CEO of Bank One, which he successfully turned around and later merged with JPMorgan Chase in 2004—solidifying his position as one of Wall Street’s most influential leaders.
EARLY CAREER
Dimon began his career at American Express before moving to Commercial Credit, where he rose to CFO and later President.
During his tenure, the company executed several transformative acquisitions, including Primerica in 1987 and Travelers in 1993.
He went on to serve as President and COO of Travelers, as well as COO of its Smith Barney subsidiary, later becoming co-Chairman and Co-CEO of the combined brokerage after the 1997 Salomon Brothers merger.
In 1998, he was named President of Citigroup following the historic merger of Travelers Group and Citicorp, cementing his reputation as one of the most capable executives in the banking industry.
