episode 14: Women of Influence: JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Control Manager Corrine Burger
A Canton native and Ohio State University graduate, Corrine Burger started her career with accounting giant Deloitte in Phoenix, a location she chose in part for the warm weather. She eventually returned home to the Buckeye State, though, taking on a variety of positions with the financial institution we today know as JPMorgan Chase & Co., the country's largest bank and an employer of nearly 20,000 people in Central Ohio.
As she advanced in her career, one of the biggest challenges Burger faced was figuring out how to break out of the accounting sphere and into the wider world of opportunities at the firm. Eventually, she said, she realized one action that could help get her where she wanted to go.
"When we had some big problems that needed to be solved, I raised my hand," said Burger, who now serves as chief control manager, managing director and Columbus location leader for the financial giant.
Burger's willingness to take on problems is perhaps best-evidenced by her work on JPMorgan's acquisition of Washington Mutual during the 2008 financial crisis. Check out the latest episode of our Women of Influence podcast to hear Burger talk about that experience and for more of the lessons she's learned throughout her career.
