(Bloomberg) — JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank, named Barry Sommers and Brian Carlin as co-heads of a new unit that combines wealth management and investment services.
Sommers, previously head of the firm’s consumer bank, will be replaced in that role by Thasunda Duckett, who ran the lender’s auto-finance unit, the New York-based firm said Tuesday in internal memos.
Sommers will be chief executive of wealth management, and also will oversee the private bank and JPMorgan Securities globally, according to a memo from asset-management head Mary Callahan Erdoes. Carlin will head investment and banking solutions, responsible for wealth-management products, including investments, lending, banking, technology and operations. He was formerly chief financial officer of the asset-management unit.

Duckett, known as T, will report to Gordon Smith, CEO of the consumer and community banking unit. A new head of auto finance will be named shortly, according to a separate memo from Smith.
“Since joining Chase in 2004, T is universally known as a great partner across the firm,” Smith wrote.
The Wall Street Journal reported on the promotions earlier Tuesday.
