Zames Brings Modernization Expertise to Social Security Administration

Former JPMorgan COO Matt Zames is joining the Trump administration as an unpaid advisor to the Social Security Administration, helping Commissioner Frank Bisignano modernize the agency's legacy systems. Zames will start his new role on Monday at the agency's headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland.

Zames has a background in large-scale technology and efficiency programs during his roughly five years as COO at JPMorgan. His experience would likely be directly relevant to modernizing Social Security's aging infrastructure.

The appointment reflects the administration's continued effort to bring private-sector operational experience into federal agencies, particularly those responsible for large-scale public services.
