    JPMORGAN Chase & Co chief operating officer Matt Zames, the intense ex-hedge fund trader who helped clean up the bank's London Whale debacle and was seen as a possible successor to chief executive officer Jamie Dimon, is leaving with the aim of running another company.

    "I've been in this business for almost a quarter century, and I've spent the vast majority of my career building businesses front to back," Mr Zames, 46, said in an interview. "I want to get back to that, I want to face off with clients again. I love big and complicated things."
