JPMorgan Snags Veteran Dealmaker from Bank of America

JPMorgan Chase is bolstering its investment banking group by hiring David Fishman, veteran dealmaker from Bank of America. According to a memo seen by Reuters, Fishman will join JPMorgan later this year as head of North America technology mergers and acquisitions.

Fishman was at Bank of America for nearly 16 years and most recently served as co-head of technology, media, and telecommunications investment banking. He resigned from the bank earlier this week, sources familiar with the matter say.

JPMorgan is also elevating Vineet Seth, current head of technology M&A in North America, to vice chair of investment banking. Both Fishman and Seth will serve on the bank's Technology M&A Leadership and Advisory Council.
