JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) announced significant leadership changes effective immediately on June 25, 2026, as detailed in their 8-K filing.
Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh, previously Co-CEOs of the Commercial & Investment Bank (CIB), have been elevated to Co-Presidents of the Firm. In conjunction with these promotions, Mr. Petno will assume the sole CEO role for the CIB, while Mr. Rohrbaugh will lead the Consumer & Community Banking (CCB) division.

Furthermore, the filing discloses one-time equity awards totaling $30 milliona each for Messrs. Petno and Rohrbaugh, and $20 million each for Mary Erdoes (CEO of Asset & Wealth Management) and Jennifer Piepszak (Chief Operating Officer). These awards are structured as Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) with a three-year cliff vest and are contingent on the Firm achieving a three-year average Return on Tangible Common Equity (ROTCE) of 12% for calendar years 2026-2028.
