Santander Holdings USA, Inc., announced
today the appointment of T. Timothy Ryan, Jr. as non-executive Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Santander Holdings USA, Inc. (SHUSA) and of Santander
Bank, N.A.
Mr. Ryan, formerly Vice Chairman for Regulatory Affairs of JPMorgan Chase &
Co. Inc., succeeds Jerry Grundhofer, who served as Chairman of both boards for
the past three years.
Santander Group Executive Chairman Ana Botin said, "Tim's many years of
experience as a regulator, lawyer and banker at JPMorgan Chase make him the
right choice to lead the Santander Holdings USA and Santander Bank boards.
"We are confident that his deep understanding of the local banking market,
regulatory environment and financial services industry will be invaluable as
we build our U.S. business. Tim's charge is to lead our U.S. business
oversight as we strengthen SHUSA's governance, structure, and control
functions and to guide Santander Bank's retail and commercial banking
business."
She added, "I would like to thank Jerry Grundhofer for his contribution to
Santander's development in the U.S."
T. Timothy Ryan, Jr., said, "I am honored to be chosen by the Santander Group
and its U.S. holding company to chair the holding company and bank boards. I
look forward to working with my new colleagues, shareholders and regulators."
Jerry Grundhofer said, "My fellow Directors, our management and our employees
at Santander are truly exceptional. They are what I will miss most as I enter
my planned retirement."
Mr. Ryan rejoined JPMorgan Chase as Global Head and Regulatory Strategy in
January 2013, and became Vice Chairman in April 2014. Prior to JPMorgan Chase,
Mr. Ryan was President and Chief Executive Officer of the Securities Industry
and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), from 2008 to 2013.
