James Edward "Jes" Staley (born December 27, 1956) is an American banker, and the former group chief executive of Barclays. He stepped down as CEO on November 1, 2021, and was succeeded by C. S. Venkatakrishnan.[1] Staley has nearly four decades of experience in banking and financial services. He spent 34 years at J.P. Morgan's investment bank,[2] ultimately becoming CEO. In 2013, he moved to BlueMountain Capital, and in December 2015, became CEO of Barclays.[3] In November 2021, Staley resigned amid a regulatory probe into whether he mischaracterized his relationship with the financier, human trafficker, and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.[4][5]
