Amit Verma appointed as executive director at JPMorganChase

MUMBAI: Amit Verma has taken the next decisive step in his global finance journey, joining JPMorganChase as an executive director from January 2026.

Sharing the update, Verma said he was delighted to begin the new role at the world’s largest bank, marking a fresh chapter in a career that blends technology, product thinking and leadership across continents.

Verma arrives at JPMorganChase after nearly eight years at Mastercard, where he played a key role in shaping digital payment products across Asia Pacific. Most recently, he served as director of product management, driving large-scale product strategy, go-to-market launches and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-evolving fintech landscape.

His Mastercard tenure saw him grow from product manager to regional leadership roles, steering gateway products and managing teams across markets. Known for combining design thinking with commercial rigour, Verma built a reputation for turning complex ideas into scalable, customer-ready solutions.

Before Mastercard, Verma’s career spanned global technology firms including Gemalto, STMicroelectronics, Samsung Electronics, Adobe and Hughes Systique Corporation. Starting out as a trainee engineer, he steadily climbed the ladder through software engineering, technical leadership and product management, gaining hands-on experience across hardware, software and digital platforms.

With two decades of experience behind him and a new leadership role ahead, Verma’s move to JPMorganChase signals not just a job change, but a full-circle moment from engineering roots to executive responsibility at the heart of global finance.
