For 24-years Daniel Pinto commuted from his home in London to New York, the headquarters of JPMorgan Chase & Co., where he is president. “Jamie’s fine with it,” he told Brunswick Group in 2019, referring to his boss and mentor Jamie Dimon, who has been CEO of the bank since 2006, and has grown it to one of the most powerful financial institutions in history, with $4.1 trillion in assets. “I love my job,” he told Brunswick. “And I love living in London.”
Then, in March 2020, a heart attack and emergency heart surgery sidelined Dimon, and Pinto and Gordon Smith (JPMorgan’s head of the consumer business) took over the reins, successfully steering the company through the first months of Covid and the global financial crisis that followed. It was a pivotal moment in Pinto’s career. He became the face of the company during that stint, and has since been a regular on lists of who is most likely to succeed Dimon. Though Pinto has long brushed off whispers of him becoming the next CEO of JPMorgan, it's hard not to note he finally relocated to New York two years ago, and has been living there with his wife ever since.
