1956

James Edward "Jes" Staley (born December 27, 1956) is an American banker, and the former group chief executive of Barclays.

He stepped down as CEO on November 1, 2021, and was succeeded by C. S. Venkatakrishnan.

Staley has nearly four decades of experience in banking and financial services.

He spent 34 years at J.P. Morgan's investment bank, ultimately becoming CEO.

Staley was born on December 27, 1956 in Boston, Massachusetts.

His father, Paul R. Staley, was president and CEO of PQ Corporation, a chemicals company, who eventually settled the family outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

1976

His grandfather, Edward Staley, was the top executive of W.T. Grant at the time when the company filed for bankruptcy in 1976.

His brother, Peter Staley, is an AIDS activist.

1979

In 1979, after graduation, Staley joined Morgan Guaranty Trust Co. of New York.

1980

From 1980 to 1989, he worked in the bank's Latin America division, where he served as head of corporate finance for Brazil and general manager of the company's Brazilian brokerage firm.

1990

In the early 1990s, Staley became one of the founding members of J.P. Morgan's equities business and ran the Equity Capital Market and Syndicate groups.

1999

In 1999, he became head of the bank's Private Banking division which, under his leadership, improved profitability threefold during two years.

2001

In 2001, he was promoted to CEO of J.P. Morgan Asset Management and ran the division until 2009.

During his tenure, J.P. Morgan Asset Management's client assets expanded from $605 billion to nearly $1.3 trillion.

Staley has also been noted for his work on J.P. Morgan's strategic investment in Highbridge Capital Management by being named as one of the twenty hedge fund superstars at J.P. Morgan.

His contribution to J.P. Morgan becoming an LGBT friendly company was also recognized.

2009

In 2009, Staley was promoted to chief executive of the Investment Bank.

In this position, Staley was responsible for overseeing and coordinating the firm's international efforts across all lines of business.

2013

In 2013, he moved to BlueMountain Capital, and in December 2015, became CEO of Barclays.

In November 2021, Staley resigned amid a regulatory probe into whether he mischaracterized his relationship with the financier, human trafficker, and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2013, Staley left J.P. Morgan after more than 30 years to join BlueMountain Capital as a managing partner.

2015

In May 2015, he was elected to the board of directors of the Swiss global financial services company UBS as a new member of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and of the Risk Committee.

However, on October 28, 2015, it was announced that Staley would become group chief executive of Barclays, effective December 1, 2015.

To avoid any conflicts of interest, UBS accepted his resignation from all of his functions at UBS with immediate effect.

In 2015, Staley spent £6.4m buying 2.8m shares in Barclays at 233p.

Barclays has a policy that directors should own shares worth four times their salaries, which Staley achieved, as his salary amounted to £1.2m.

However, his total remuneration package, including his salary, a fixed pay allowance to avoid an EU cap on bonuses, annual bonuses of up to £2.1m and a long-term incentive plan of £3.2m, was worth £10m in 2015.

On October 24, 2015, the Daily Mail published an article saying they had seen emails by Jeffrey Epstein indicating he "began arguing for Mr Staley in financial circles in the summer of 2012" while Barclays was searching for a new CEO.

The Times alleged the Daily Mail had received copies of threatening letters from Epstein that were originally sent to Parliament.

The article reports that Barclays denied being lobbied by Epstein on behalf of Staley, and that Staley is said to have been unaware that Epstein was backing him for the role.

2016

In March 2016, he gave his vision for the future of Barclays' investment bank, although the changes he brought until then were not well received by the markets.

Staley is a former trustee of Bowdoin College, serves on the board of the United States-China Business Council, and is a member of the advisory board of the American Museum of Natural History.

In 2016, Staley attempted to discover the identity of a whistleblower who wrote a letter raising “concerns of a personal nature” about a senior employee.

These claims were investigated for over a year by British regulators, an investigation which was one of the first tests of the UK's "Senior managers regime", intended to make high-level banking officials personally accountable.

2017

In May 2017, "email prankster" James Linton began his spree with Staley pranked with an acrostic alluding to the whistleblower affair.

On 26th July, 2017, FOIA responses show that UK Parliamentarians including John Mann and Mark Garnier misled the readers of the Daily Mail in this article.

2018

On April 20, 2018, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulatory Authority announced that Staley could stay on as CEO, though he would have to pay a fine.

Staley was fined £642,430 by the FCA and Barclays said it would cut £500,000 of his bonus over the matter.
