Catherine Keating, former Global Head of Wealth Management at BNY Mellon, discussed her career and leadership lessons in a March 2026 interview on "The CEO Show." She described two pieces of advice she received from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon in 2005, when she was appointed CEO of the U.S. Private Bank at JPMorgan. The personal advice was to organize her schedule to make it home for dinner at least three nights a week, a rule she said she and her husband followed. The professional advice was that "the numbers tell the story" and not to "tell a story about the numbers," which she said she carried with her throughout her career. Keating also spoke about the broader transformation of financial markets, noting the shift from pensions to individual retirement responsibility. She characterized the current era as the "Decade of Speed," in which rapid changes from pandemics to artificial intelligence require leaders to adapt quickly, comparing the need for adaptability to how tennis players adjust point by point.
