JPMorgan CEO of wealth management client business Barry Sommers has stepped down from his post.

Sommers will now “pursue interests outside of the corporate sphere”, the bank said in an internal memo.

Sommers joined JPMorgan in 2008 after its takeover of Bear Stearns. He was in charge of the firm’s private banking and brokerage divisions.

He is expected to stay at the firm for the coming several months to support the transition process.

JPMorgan has now appointed Nicolas Aguzin as CEO of the group’s international private bank.

Aguzin currently serves as the head of banking for the Asia-Pacific region at JPMorgan.
