JPMorgan Chase has named Deep Thomas as its new Chief Data and Analytics Officer for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, a strategic move aimed at boosting the bank’s data and AI capabilities across key regional markets. In this leadership role, Thomas will be responsible for driving JPMorgan’s data and analytics agenda throughout APAC, with a strong focus on governance, regulatory compliance, risk management, and data-led business transformation. His appointment is expected to strengthen the bank’s competitive position in an increasingly data-driven financial services environment.
“In this role, Thomas will lead JPMorgan’s APAC-wide data and analytics strategy with a focus on governance, regulatory compliance, risk management, and data-driven business transformation to sharpen the bank’s competitive edge in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.”
With over 25 years of global experience, Thomas brings a wealth of expertise in building, scaling, and transforming enterprise data functions. Prior to joining JPMorgan, he served as the Group Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Nomura, where he led the expansion of AI adoption and enhanced enterprise-wide risk management frameworks.
His career spans several major financial institutions, including leadership roles at Citigroup, HSBC, and American Express. Notably, during his tenure at the Aditya Birla Group, he led digital and analytics transformation initiatives across more than 17 business sectors, delivering over $100 million in business impact. His cross-industry experience, combined with a strong foundation in data strategy and innovation, positions him well to elevate JPMorgan’s data capabilities across the APAC region.
Thomas’s appointment signals JPMorgan’s growing focus on embedding data and artificial intelligence at the core of its regional operations. As financial institutions worldwide adapt to rapid technological shifts, JPMorgan is investing in talent and infrastructure to stay ahead of the curve.
“Thomas’s appointment underscores JPMorgan’s commitment to embedding data and AI at the core of its APAC growth strategy,” the company stated.
With this new leadership, JPMorgan aims to accelerate its efforts in harnessing data to drive smarter decision-making, ensure regulatory compliance, and unlock new opportunities across markets in Asia-Pacific.
