Jamie Dimon taps Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell, and Ford CEO Jim Farley to advise JPMorgan’s $1.5 trillion national security initiative

Jamie Dimon’s JPMorgan Chase just unveiled a list of business leaders and retired government officials that will make up a new advisory team to guide the investment bank’s $1.5 trillion national security initiative. 

The external advisory council, announced on Monday, features prominent tech business leaders Jeff Bezos and Michael Dell as well as Ford CEO Jim Farley, alongside a number of national security and defense experts. 

JPMorgan Chase announced its national security push—coined the Security and Resilience Initiative (SRI)—in October by saying it would first invest up to $10 billion in direct equity and venture capital to companies it characterizes as paramount to U.S. national security.

Dimon also said on Monday he poached one of Warren Buffett’s personally selected investors to head the investment fund starting in January.

Both of the announcements are initial steps to realizing the company’s national security pledge, which will span the next 10 years.
