Mr Hillery, whose maternal grandfather was stockbrokers Davy co-founder Eugene Davy, will retain existing responsibilities as head of investment banking across EMEA. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Originally from Dublin, Mr Hillery completed a bachelor of commerce degree in University College Dublin (UCD) before training as a chartered accountant with KPMG. He subsequently joined Kleinwort Benson in London, before moving to stockbrokers Cazenove in 2002. JP Morgan bought Cazenove in 2010.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">Mr Hillery served as co-head of UK investment banking at the group from 2013 until 2016. He subsequently became co-heading the firm\u2019s financial institutions group globally. In 2020, he was appointed co-head of investment banking for the EMEA region, before being named as sole head in 2024.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">\u201cI would like to congratulate Conor and Matthieu on their appointment to co-CEO of EMEA, a special region where the firm was first founded,\u201d said Mr Gori. \u201cThe three of us have worked closely together over the past 18 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">The co-CEOs will report to US-based Mary Erdoes, CEO of asset and wealth management, and Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh, co-CEOs of commercial and investment banking. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph paywall \">JP Morgan\u2019s Irish unit, which can trace its roots to 1962, employs about 1,450 in Ireland, including hundreds in Clonakilty-based fintech Global Shares, which it acquired three years ago for about \u20ac665 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JP Morgan, the largest bank in the US, has named Irishman Conor Hillery as co-chief executive of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[79,18,19,17,47458],"class_list":{"0":"post-105300","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-jp-morgan-chase"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
