JP Morgan Makes Senior Management Changes Across Europe

JP Morgan has made a number of senior level changes as it seeks to strengthen and reshape its leadership team across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

JP Morgan has made a number of senior level changes as it seeks to strengthen and reshape its leadership team across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Martin Wiesmann will become the senior country officer of Germany with responsibility for all operations across all lines of business in the country, effective immediately.

Meanwhile, Pascal Ravery has been appointed chairman of the Swiss management committee in addition to his current role as a vice chairman of European investment banking.

Nick Bossart will succeed Pascal as SCO of Switzerland, effective immediately, and Anton Ulmer will join JP Morgan as the SCO of Austria, effective 1 April.

JP Morgan said in a statement that the operations of the firm’s private bank subsidiary in Geneva will continue to remain separately accountable, given its position as an EMEA hub for the private bank.

Wiesmann has more than 20 years of experience in the banking industry and has been head of investment banking in Germany and Austria since August 2012. Before joining JP Morgan in 2007, he worked for 12 years in the investment banking division of Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt.

Since joining JP Morgan in 1992, Ravery has held leadership positions in mergers and acquisitions and in France, as well as managing pan-European coverage of large clients. He became vice chairman of European investment banking in 2007 and will remain a senior figure across businesses in Switzerland as the firm continues to build this franchise.

Before joining JP Morgan in 2012, Bossart spent 12 years at Deutsche Bank in London and Zurich in areas including Swiss corporate finance, global banking, and investment banking coverage and advisory.

Ulmer joins from Morgan Stanley, where he led the investment banking business in Austria. He previously worked for five years at JP Morgan in mergers and acquisitions, before becoming head of corporate development and a member of the management committee at Wienerberger in Vienna. He has also worked in the investment banking division of Deutsche Bank.
