JPMorgan Chase named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh co-presidents of the company on Thursday, elevating the pair to the front of the race to eventually succeed CEO Jamie Dimon while announcing the retirement of Marianne Lake, who had long been considered a leading candidate for…

Alongside the co-president roles, Petno becomes sole CEO of the commercial and investment banking division, while Rohrbaugh moves to lead consumer and community banking — the business Lake currently heads. Having joined the firm more than two decades ago and risen to CFO in 2013 before eventually heading consumer and community banking, Lake will spend the coming weeks working alongside Rohrbaugh and other senior leaders to hand off her responsibilities, the company said. “The changes announced today mark an important step in our Board’s thoughtful process around succession planning and development of our top leaders,” Dimon said in a statement. The reshuffled structure hands each executive a business outside his traditional comfort zone, according to CNBC.
For Rohrbaugh, who built his reputation on trading floors and institutional markets, the consumer franchise represents an entirely new arena — one that rounds out a profile previously light on retail experience. Petno, meanwhile, takes sole command of the Wall Street and commercial banking unit he previously co-led. Thursday’s announcement also included a significant pay component, according to The Wall Street Journal: the two new co-presidents will each pocket $30 million retention bonuses, while asset and wealth management chief Mary Erdoes and COO Jennifer Piepszak will each receive $20 million.
