JPMorgan taps David Fishman from Bank of America to lead North America technology M&A, Reuters reports

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is hiring David Fishman, a long-time technology mergers and acquisitions executive at Bank of America, to lead JPMorgan’s technology M&A efforts in North America, Reuters reported Monday, citing the company’s planning for the role.

According to the report, the move would bring Fishman to JPMorgan after his time at Bank of America, where he has worked on dealmaking across the technology sector. The reporting frames the hire as part of JPMorgan’s effort to deepen its coverage and execution in tech-related transactions.

The Reuters account, published through Yahoo Finance, said JPMorgan is bringing Fishman on to oversee North America technology mergers and acquisitions, suggesting a leadership-level role tied to deal sourcing, advisory and execution for technology clients across the region.

A specific start date, whether Fishman would report into a particular banking unit, and the scope of the team he would manage were not detailed in the information provided. JPMorgan also did not publicly describe the organizational change in the materials referenced by the report.

In recent years, technology M&A has remained a steady driver of advisory activity for major investment banks, even as deal volumes fluctuate with interest rates, regulatory scrutiny and market sentiment. Large banks typically compete not only on balance-sheet capacity but also on industry relationships, deal structuring expertise and the ability to handle complex cross-border transactions.

For JPMorgan, positioning a veteran technology deal lead in North America indicates an emphasis on execution capabilities in a category where buyers and sellers often require specialized valuation work, financing strategy and regulatory navigation. For Bank of America, the departure implies a reshuffling of senior responsibility in its technology franchise, though the report did not outline any internal succession plan.
