Jamie Dimon
James "Jamie" Dimon (13-Mar-1956 -) is the current COO of JP Morgan Chase and is in line to be the CEO for the combined JP Morgan Chase/Bank One corporation. He's planned to take the CEO position in 2006, while the current CEO William B. Harrison, Jr will stay as chairman.
Business
Soon after Dimon graduated from Harvard Business School in 1982, Sandy Weill convinced him to turn down offers from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to join him as an assistant at American Express. Though Weill could not offer the same amount of money as the investment banks, Weill promised Dimon that he would have "fun." In a power struggle, Weill left American Express in 1985, Dimon followed him, and the two took over Commercial Credit, a consumer finance company, from Control Data, which, a couple of tweaks and acquisitions later, became Citigroup in 1998. Jamie left Citigroup in November 1998. He said in the 2002 Kellogg School interview that he was fired by Sandy. In March 2000 he became CEO of Bank One, then the nations fifth largest bank.
School
He majored in psychology in college, he majored in economics at Tufts University, before he went to Harvard BS.
Quotes
From October 4, 2002 Kellogg School of Management address: I went to work for Sandy, ..., to build something. The reason I went to work for Sandy was because I liked him, ..., and I like him because he was down to earth, no b.s., told it the way it was, he dealt with the secretaries and the drivers and the clerks the same way he dealt with anybody else, tremendous common sense. I also think that people make the big mistake, they think they have to fight their way to the top, I think a lot of people are pushed to the top, and they're pushed to the top by people who like them, trust them, respect them, and consider them leaders, I'm going to talk about it later because I think it's probably the most important thing. I read Investors Business Daily (?), Forbes, Fortune, Business Week, Outstanding Investor (?), Intelligent Investor (?), I read probably 60 annual reports, almost every research report that comes out (JPM research reports), always sucking up information, always. And you get it from the written stuff which I just talked about, which go wide and broad, and you get it from people.
