Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has indicated that his timeline for stepping down is likely a few years away, possibly in four to five years. He acknowledged that while there are several capable candidates within the company to succeed him, the timing of his departure will be determined by various factors, including board decisions and the well-being of the senior management team. Recently, the bank experienced a management reshuffle, with Jennifer Piepszak being promoted to COO, although she does not intend to become the next CEO. Dimon mentioned that he is still involved in planning for a smooth succession as he approaches the age of 69.
