Career


Commercial Credit and transition into Citigroup

Sandy Weill left American Express in 1985, and Dimon followed him. The two then took over Commercial Credit, a consumer finance company, from Control Data. At age 30, Dimon was appointed

, helping turn around the company. In 1998, through a series of mergers and acquisitions, Dimon and Weill formed a large financial services conglomerate:

. But Dimon left Citigroup in November 1998, after Weill asked him to resign during a weekend executive retreat. Rumors at the time suggested that he and Weill had argued, in 1997, over Dimon's inaction to promote Weill's daughter, Jessica M. Bibliowicz, although that happened more than a year before Dimon's departure. At least one other account cites, as the real reason, a request by Dimon to be treated as an equal.


Move to J.P. Morgan

In March 2000, Dimon became CEO of Bank One, the nation's fifth largest bank. When

. Under Dimon's leadership, with the acquisitions during his tenure, JPMorgan Chase has become the leading U.S. bank in domestic assets under management, market capitalization value and publicly traded stock value. In 2009, Dimon was considered one of "The TopGun CEOs" by Brendan Wood International, an advisory agency. On September 26, 2011, Dimon was involved in a high-profile heated exchange with

On May 10, 2012, JPMorgan Chase initiated an emergency conference call to report a loss of at least $2 billion in trades that Dimon said were "designed to hedge the bank's overall credit risks." The strategy was, in Dimon's words, "flawed, complex, poorly reviewed, poorly executed and poorly monitored." The episode was investigated by the

Dimon serves on the executive committee of The Business Council, an organization of global CEOs. He was chairman of the organization's executive committee during 2011 and 2012. As of 2024, Dimon is also a board member of the Business Roundtable, previously serving as chairman of the organization.


Fines and legal settlements

According to Good Jobs First's violation tracker, during Dimon's time heading JPMorgan Chase, the bank was fined $38 billion in total by the U.S. government, for legal and regulatory infractions. Under Dimon, JPMorgan Chase reached a then-record $13 billion settlement ($11 billion of which was tax deductible) with the US government, which was the second largest (behind

in the years leading up to the 2007–2008 financial crisis. The bank said, "Under Mr. Dimon's stewardship, the Company has fortified its control infrastructure and processes and strengthened each of its key businesses, while continuing to focus on strengthening the Company's leadership capabilities across all levels." Dimon described the settlement as "unfair," and said he "had to control his rage" regarding the topic, with most of the government claims against his company being for dealings that took place at companies before JPMorgan Chase bought them, as a result of the financial crisis. It is estimated that 70–80% of the dealmaking for the settlement was due to the outstanding legal exposures of

Compensation

Dimon is one of the few bank chief executives to have become a billionaire, largely because of his stake in JPMorgan Chase. He received a $23 million pay package for fiscal year 2011, more than any other bank CEO in the US. However, his compensation was reduced to $11.5 million in 2012 by JPMorgan Chase following a series of controversial trading losses that amounted to $6 billion. On January 24, 2014, it was announced that Dimon would receive $20 million for his work in 2013; a year of record profits and stock price under Dimon's reign, despite significant losses that year due to scandals and payments of fines. The award was a 74% raise, which included over $18 million in restricted stock. Dimon received $34.5 million from JPMorgan Chase in fiscal year 2022, and $36 million in fiscal year 2023.


Approach to business

Dimon carries everywhere a sheet of paper on which he writes lists of things to do, things to check up on, and things to remember, which he systematically crosses off. He has said he uses the
