Which CEO of JPMorgan Chase has led the bank since 2005?

Jamie Dimon is the CEO of JPMorgan Chase who has led the bank since the mid-2000s.

Dimon became CEO on January 1, 2006, after joining JPMorgan Chase through its 2004 merger with Bank One, where he had been chairman and CEO. Some references date his appointment to late 2005 because he was named CEO-designate on December 31 of that year. He became chairman of the board in 2007.

His leadership is closely associated with JPMorgan Chase’s expansion into one of the world’s largest financial institutions. The bank navigated the 2008 financial crisis comparatively well, partly because it entered the turmoil with a diversified business and strong liquidity. Dimon also oversaw major acquisitions, including Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual during the crisis.

A common mix-up is confusing Dimon with former Bank One chief John Stumpf or with CEOs of other major U.S. banks. The key distinction is that Dimon has remained JPMorgan Chase’s central chief executive since the 2005–06 transition.
