June 3 (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) has given
Marianne Lake, widely seen as a potential successor to CEO Jamie
Dimon, the additional responsibility of managing its overseas
consumer banking arm and strategic growth office, according to
an internal memo on Tuesday.
The change comes as incumbent Sanoke Viswanathan resigned as
the CEO of JPMorgan's ( JPM ) international consumer and wealth unit.
Viswanathan will join as the CEO of FactSet from
September, the financial data provider said.
Lake is currently the CEO of JPMorgan's ( JPM ) domestic consumer
and community banking arm, which serves more than 84 million
consumers in the United States.
JPMorgan's ( JPM ) international consumer banking business has
gained over 2.5 million customers in the UK, and is set to
expand across continental Europe and beyond, CEO Jamie Dimon and
President Daniel Pinto said in the memo seen by Reuters.
Viswanathan, 50, spent more than a decade at the Wall Street
giant, and was also a member of JPMorgan's ( JPM ) operating committee.
He also oversaw the bank's international private bank and
workplace solutions businesses within the asset and wealth
management unit.
While leading JPMorgan's ( JPM ) strategy for many years,
Viswanathan oversaw many of the bank's investments and
acquisitions.
Dimon, 69, said on Monday that his retirement was "several
years" away, adding that he might stick around for a couple of
years as chairman or executive chairman.
Bloomberg News reported the development earlier in the day.
