The CEO Diary with Fexingo · 2026-07-25 · 6 min
Jamie Dimon’s term 'fortress balance sheet' is more than a slogan - it’s a capital discipline that made JPMorgan the strongest US bank through the 2008 crisis and the 2023 regional banking turmoil. This episode unpacks how Dimon learned from Sandy Weill, set hard capital targets well above regulatory minimums, and used that strength to buy Bear Stearns and First Republic at pivotal moments. We also examine the London Whale incident and how he turned a $6 billion loss into a culture lesson. A masterclass in defensive offense from the CEO of America’s biggest bank. #JamieDimon #JPMorganChase #FortressBalanceSheet #BankingLeadership #RiskManagement #CEOStrategy #Business #LeadershipLessons #FinancialCrisis #CapitalDiscipline #WallStreet #BankingIndustry #CorporateCulture #LongTermThinking #Resilience #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheCEODiary Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
