The Jamie Dimon Interview

We sit down with Jamie Dimon for a live conversation at Radio
City Music Hall, covering the incredible journey from his 1998
firing at Citgroup (where he was widely expected to become CEO)
to building the most powerful bank in the world. Today JPMorgan
Chase is a juggernaut — the most systemically important
non-governmental financial institution in the world, with over
twice the market capitalization of its nearest competitor. But it
certainly wasn’t always this way! Jamie takes us from his career
restart at the struggling Chicago-based Bank One through how he
transformed that platform into the foundation for the modern
JPMorgan Chase. We dive into the “fortress balance sheet”
strategy that has defined his tenure, and cover blow-by-blow
Jamie’s approach to the Great Financial Crisis, Bear Stearns,
WaMu, First Republic and more. Tune in for an incredible
conversation, live from New York City’s most iconic venue!
