JPMorgan Narrows Succession Race as Top Leaders Shift Ahead of Dimon’s Exit
JPMorgan Chase announced a major leadership reshuffle as it moves its succession planning for Jamie Dimon forward: Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh were elevated to co-presidents of the bank’s commercial and investment banking unit, with Petno set to become sole CEO of that unit and Rohrbaugh to take over Marianne Lake’s consumer-banking role (Lake staying on briefly to aid the transition). The board also granted $30 million retention awards to both Petno and Rohrbaugh, underscoring the belief that the race to succeed Dimon has narrowed to these two executives. Dimon remains executive chairman and has signaled he plans to stay for several more years.
