JPMorgan Chase & Co. is hiring in sub-Saharan Africa as the New York-based bank works with companies to list their shares in London despite Brexit uncertainty.
“There are fast growing businesses in Africa, that’s why we’re able to get these IPOs underway,” said Barry Meyers, managing director of JPMorgan’s U.K. capital markets and sub-Saharan Africa business, declining to be specific on deals. “International investors are interested and more open to the African growth story than ever before.”
