JPMorgan is currently seeking a new technology managing director in Hong Kong, despite the fact that US banks may be cutting investment bankers in the region. Steve Brooks, who was previously the head of APAC equities technology at JPMorgan, left the bank in January to spend time with his family. The bank is actively searching for a replacement for his role.
Brooks had a long career at JPMorgan, joining in London in 2002 and holding various positions until his departure. Prior to joining JPMorgan, Brooks worked at the Bank of England and served as their EMEA head of algo trading and liquidity until 2013. Despite flat equities sales and trading revenues in the first quarter of 2024, JPMorgan remains committed to filling key technology roles in the region.
