JPMorgan names Thakur sole head of global markets unit as Sippel departs
Sippel will be leaving for another opportunity after a 23-year stint at the largest U.S. bank by assets, where he held various roles, including expanding its prime brokerage business and overseeing global credit trading and public finance. Earlier this month, JPMorgan reported a record annual profit as its dealmakers and traders reaped a windfall from rebounding markets in the fourth quarter. JPMorgan's global markets franchise ended 2024 with a record revenue of $30 billion.
