“We are extremely pleased that Tim will be returning to JPMorgan Chase,” said Mr. Zames. “More than at any time in our history, regulatory strategy and policies around the world are affecting our business and how we serve clients. Tim has both a deep knowledge of these policies and the government representatives formulating them, and also knows our businesses and executives extremely well from his 16 years at the firm. Beyond that, he has outstanding leadership qualities and integrity. We’re fortunate to have him back on our senior team.”
“I’m looking forward to coming back to J.P. Morgan,” said Mr. Ryan. “I’ve had a great experience at SIFMA and am fortunate to have worked with as many terrific people as I did.
