“And to my colleagues at Equitable, I can't thank you enough for the last 16 years. I will be cheering you on from the sidelines!” Ferrero added.

"Kathryn will bring a wealth of financial services experience to J.P. Morgan, spanning strategy, distribution, product development and marketing," stated Richard Chambers, chief marketing officer for J.P. Morgan Asset and Wealth Management. "We look forward to the positive impact we know she’ll have on our global offering."
