Dina Dublon

As the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for JPMorgan Chase, Dina Dublon is one of the most powerful women on Wall Street. At the firm, she is responsible for financial management and reporting, acquisitions, corporate treasury and investor relations. Dublon joined the company’s predecessor, Chemical Bank, in 1981 as a management trainee on the capital markets trading floor, and was promoted to senior Vice President in 1989. In 1996 Dublon became an Executive Vice President for corporate planning at Chase following the merger of Chase Manhattan and Chemical Bank, and in 1998, she was named CFO. Prior to joining Chemical, Dublon worked at the Harvard Business School and at Bank Hapoalim in Israel. She has been named one of Fortune’s 50 most powerful women in America every year since 1999.

Dublon has been a long time supporter of women in finance, working to increase diversity within the corporate world. She sees a need to increase the influence and power of women in the corporate arena, and believes that this requires serious change from the top down, as well as self-empowerment on the part of women in their communities, in the boardroom, and in the political arena.

In addition to her impressive corporate career, Dublon has also been a strong supporter of the struggles of women and girls internationally. Earlier this year, she put the demands of corporate life aside and traveled to Rwanda, where she spent 10 days speaking with Rwanda's First Lady and women refugees about their role in rebuilding the war-torn country. Upon her return, Dublon organized a shipment of books to a girls’ school in Rwanda , and sponsorships for ten of the students.

Born in Brazil and raised in Israel, Dublon earned a B.A. in economics and mathematics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and an M.S. from the Graduate School of Industrial Administration at Carnegie Mellon University, where she is now a trustee. Dublon is also a director of Accenture, a trustee of the Women's Commission for Refugee Women & Children, and a director of WorldLinks, a global learning network.
