Career
Mary started her career with Stein Roe & Farnham, and credited her maternal grandmother Izzy as instrumental for helping her get that job during college. She described her job there as a "glorified mailroom job". She then moved on to Bankers Trust, where she worked in corporate finance, merchant banking, and high-yield debt underwriting. Before joining J.P. Morgan, she was employed at Meredith, Martin & Kaye, a fixed-income specialty advisory firm, where she was responsible for credit research, trading, and individual portfolio management. In 1996, she joined J.P. Morgan Asset Management as head of fixed income for high-net-worth individuals, foundations and endowments. In March 2005, she was appointed CEO of J.P. Morgan Private Bank. She assumed her current post in September 2009. She has been mentioned as a potential successor to JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon.
