Chuka Umunna, ex-Lib Dem, TIG and Labour MP, joins JPMorgan

Umunna will join JPMorgan in a newly-created role, which will unite all its ESG-related activities.

Chuka Umunna – the former Labour, Change UK and Liberal Democrat MP – has joined JPMorgan, and will oversee the Wall Street giant’s European environmental, social and governance advisory efforts.

An employment lawyer before he was elected in 2010, Umunna will join JPMorgan in a newly-created role, which will unite all its ESG-related activities, according to the Financial Times.

The new job will make Umunna – who lost as the Lib Dem candidate in Cities of London and Westminster to a Conservative party candidate in the 2019 election – one the most senior Black bankers in London’s financial services industry.

Umunna served as shadow business secretary under Ed Miliband – but quit Labour in protest at Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership to found Change UK, an ill-fated new party. He then joined the Lib Dems after Change UK fared badly in EU elections.

The 42-year-old’s move into banking follows in the footsteps of a number of former MPs in recent years. It emerged last week that George Osborne, the ex-chancellor, is joining London-based boutique advisory firm Robey Warshaw.

Another former Conservative chancellor, Sajid Javid, nabbed a lucrative position advising JPMorgan last summer.

Shortly after stepping down as prime minister, Tony Blair also took a £2 million-a-year part-time role counselling JPMorgan and, in 2015, his successor Gordon Brown became an adviser to Pimco, one of the world’s largest asset managers.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
