Lee Knackstedt

As Head of Privacy, Data Governance & Platform Product at JPMorgan Chase, I lead the strategy, execution, and delivery of integrated capabilities that enable the firm to manage data responsibly, operate efficiently, and deliver on regulatory and customer expectations. This function spans privacy engineering, metadata governance, consent architecture, and enterprise-wide data platforms—driving secure, scalable solutions across the organization. With over 25 years of experience in financial services, I have delivered high-impact initiatives across privacy, data management, and payments—enhancing operational performance, strengthening risk posture, and aligning technology delivery with business objectives. My work focuses on embedding compliance into core processes, enabling AI/ML readiness, and developing reusable frameworks that accelerate speed to market and drive measurable return on investment. Known for delivery under pressure and strong financial discipline, I’ve led global teams in launching enterprise-scale programs from the ground up—mobilizing resources, coordinating across business and technology, and executing with precision. My mission is to build environments that are trusted, agile, and built for sustained growth, supporting JPMorgan Chase and its clients in navigating complexity with confidence.
