JPMorgan Chase appoints government relations chief Tim Berry as Mid-Atlantic regional chair

The nation’s largest bank is shuffling its top leadership in the D.C. region. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM) said in a memo to employees that Tim Berry, its global head of government relations since 2017, will take on the additional role of chairman of the Mid-Atlantic region, replacing Peter Scher. Scher, though, isn’t going anywhere. He remains vice chairman of the $3.8 trillion-asset banking giant and a member of its operating committee and will continue to oversee Morgan Health, a division created last year to help improve delivery of employee-sponsored health insurance across the company, which has more than 288,000 employees.
