JPMorgan Strengthens Consumer & Retail Investment Banking with Key Senior Hires
JPMorgan Chase is bolstering its consumer and retail investment banking division with the strategic appointment of two new managing directors, as revealed in a recent internal memo seen by Reuters. This move signals the banking giant’s ongoing commitment to enhancing its capabilities in these pivotal sectors.
Brian Esmond will join the firm in Los Angeles, bringing his extensive expertise from Centerview Partners. Simultaneously, Bryan Fleming is set to be based in New York, transitioning from Bank of America, where he held a managing director role in retail and consumer investment banking.
Both seasoned executives are expected to commence their new positions later this year and will report to Jonathan Dunlop, Patrick Gallagher, and Aaron Weisbrod. These significant hires follow a period of strong performance for JPMorgan, with its investment banking fees rising 7% to $2.5 billion in the second quarter, year-over-year, largely propelled by increases in mergers and acquisitions and debt underwriting. The news of these appointments was initially reported by Bloomberg News.
