JPMorgan hires David Fishman to lead North America tech M&A

JPMorgan Chase has hired David Fishman from Bank of America as vice chair and head of its technology mergers and acquisitions business in North America.

Fishman will also join a newly formed technology M&A leadership and advisory council serving the firm’s key clients, according to a memo reviewed by Bloomberg. JPMorgan confirmed the memo’s contents.

Fishman spent more than 15 years at Bank of America, where he most recently co-led technology, media and telecommunications M&A. He previously served as chief strategy officer for the bank’s investment bank.

At JPMorgan, Fishman will report to Chris Grose and Greg Mendelson, the co-heads of technology investment banking, and Charlie Bouckaert, the global head of M&A.

He will reunite with former Bank of America colleague Kevin Brunner, who joined JPMorgan last year as global chair of investment banking and M&A. JPMorgan’s Vineet Seth will also become a vice chair and take a senior role on the technology M&A council.
