CONTEXT NEWS

JPMorgan said on June 25 that Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh, co-CEOs of the commercial and investment bank, had been promoted to be co-presidents of the company, effective immediately. Petno also will become sole CEO of the commercial and investment bank, while Rohrbaugh will replace Marianne Lake to run the consumer and community banking division.

Lake decided to retire after more than 25 years of service, JPMorgan said.
