JPMorgan Chase named veteran banker Mark O'Donovan the next head of its international consumer bank Monday, according to an internal memo seen by Banking Dive. O'Donovan, who will replace Sanoke Viswanathan, will oversee Chase's U.K. arm, its planned launch in Germany, future market expansion and the bank's stake in Brazilian neobank C6. Additionally, he will oversee Nutmeg, JPMorgan's European investment arm. Viswanathan is leaving JPMorgan to become chief executive of financial software firm FactSet in September. He spent 15 years at the bank and led its expansion into the U.K., which since 2021 has garnered more than 2.5 million customers. 'We have a special culture of collaboration and disruptive thinking at JPMorganChase that permeates the organization. Every line of business wants to be the best it can be, and I will carry that spirit with me as I move into my new role,' Viswanathan said of his transition in a LinkedIn post. O'Donovan's career at JPMorgan spans three decades, including his current role as CFO of the commercial and investment bank, according to the memo. He was previously CEO of Chase's home lending business, and before that, CEO of Chase Auto. He will relocate to London and report to Consumer and Community Banking CEO Marianne Lake.

First Republic was one of several banks to fail in early 2023, and was the second largest bank to fail in U.S. history. JPMorgan's co-head of global corporate banking, Bregje de Best, will replace O'Donovan as the CIB's CFO. James Roddy, the other global corporate banking co-head, will move forward as the business' sole head. de Best and Roddy have been with the bank 19 years and 26 years, respectively.

‘Billboard Unfiltered': Reviewing Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI' & His All-Time Ranking in Rap
Billboard Unfiltered is back with a reimagined format and will remain a live show every Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. ET. Staff writer Kyle Denis, senior director R&B/hip-hop Carl Lamarre and senior charts analyst Trevor Anderson returned with new moderator Delisa Shannon on Wednesday (June 11) as the trio debated the early returns of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI, and all three skewed to various degrees of a negative reception to Weezy's latest installment in his decorated series. More from Billboard Former Evanescence Guitarist, Jen Majura, Announces Decision to 'Step Away' From Music Industry Douglas McCarthy, Nitzer Ebb Vocalist, Dies Aged 58 Ananda Lewis, Influential MTV Host, Dies at 52 Lamarre compared Wayne's career legacy to that of Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and said Weezy still remains in his top five of all-time. Although, CL believes that the disappointing album and his solo output over the last decade have watered down his discography. 'I need to fire whoever was A&R and executive producing my brother Wayne's album because this is easily the worst [Carter] in the entire series,' he claimed. '[C6] was just a full trainwreck… When you take out the mixtapes and look at pure albums. From one, five and six on Tha Carter is mid — everything else is mid.' Denis bluntly said C6 is 'not a good album at all' and 'a—.' 'He spent the last year begging for sympathy by him not getting the Super Bowl slot and he deserved that,' he said. 'This was the time to drop a fire album, get one or two hits off of that, and make your actual case for a Super Bowl headlining show next year. That's completely shot now because it's a—… You did not rise to the occasion.' Anderson seemed to enjoy the album most among the Unfiltered crew, highlighting the first six tracks as standouts before being derailed. 'I'm not gonna be that hard on it,' TA began. 'Clearly, it's the weakest entry in the canon… It didn't stick the landing for me… I don't know if this album really messes up [if Wayne is top five or top 10] for me… It does weaken Tha Carter series overall… But I don't think it messes up the legacy peg at all.' The conversation turned to Wayne's legacy and Lamarre believes every top 10 rapper should have at least three classic solo offerings, and he thinks Wayne has two with the second and third installments of Tha Carter, but not much else. 'I'm adamant about saying his [albums] discography is not as strong as people think,' he declared. Ultimately, the trio wants to see Wayne get back to the drawing board and lock in with a singular producer like Nas did with Hit-Boy to bring that greatness out of him. When the dust settled, Shannon gave Trevor Anderson the victory in the first game of the revamped Unfiltered series. Watch the full episode below.
