In this episode, Georgie sits down with Carlos Hernandez, whose extraordinary 37-year career at JPMorgan, took him from the firm’s investment banking training program to Executive Chair of Investment and Corporate Banking, as well as being a key member of the Operating Committee and the Corporate & Investment Bank Management Team.
Working almost every part of the business, Carlos earned a reputation as a trusted adviser to top executives and world leaders. A key member of Jamie Dimon’s inner circle, Carlos played a pivotal role in shaping JPMorgan’s strategy and future.
In this conversation, Carlos shares powerful insights on what defines great leadership—navigating tough decisions, leading with transparency in turbulent times, and fostering true ownership within teams. We explored the power of purpose, disciplined prioritization, and the role of adaptability, alignment, and emotional intelligence. Our discussion also tackled managing toxic individuals, the necessity of brutal honesty, and the impact of genuine feedback and mentorship.
A masterclass in true leadership excellence!
