No day is ever the same. JP Morgan Chase & Co. is one of the world's largest banks and I am reminded daily of the important role it plays in the global economy and what I do here. My time is typically divided equally between time with my team and time with executives. My main function is leading a team that protects the firm and its customers, clients, employees and partners from cybersecurity threats. I also do a lot of work engaging fellow employees and training them on proper cyber hygiene.
