He was previously Head of JPMorgan’s Americas Investment Banking, Head of Global M&A, and Global Head of Industry Coverage.

“Doug is a world-class banker, and he will work alongside the great team we have assembled in Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) to continue growing it,” said CEO Charlie Scharf. “We have significantly strengthened CIB’s market position over the last several years, making significant investments in its industry coverage and product capabilities, adding more than 50 senior hires and winning significant new strategic mandates. The addition of Doug’s expertise and business relationships reflects our continued commitment to strengthen CIB even further. In addition, the breadth of Doug’s experience means he’ll be an effective advisor to Wells Fargo’s senior management team on business issues beyond client development.”

Doug Braunstein said, “I am truly excited to join Wells Fargo. I believe that Wells is uniquely positioned in financial services to build and broaden their client-serving lines of business, and I am excited to help grow the franchise. The benefits of combining capital and world-class execution with deep customer relationships makes me excited to work with the team. I’m also delighted to be working with Charlie and Wells Fargo’s management team more broadly. The company has made a tremendous amount of progress across multiple dimensions over the past five years, and I’m excited to continue to push that work forward."

In addition to his time at JPMC, Braunstein has been an advisor to numerous boards and management teams in the planning, structuring and implementation of the full range of corporate finance solutions and strategic alternatives. He has been involved in nearly $1 trillion in transactions throughout his career. Doug previously served as interim CEO of Talkspace, Inc. and on the boards of several public companies including Cantaloupe, Inc., Cardtronics plc, Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc., Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Talkspace.
