Tribute to Daniel Darahem

(1973 – 2024)

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, we regretfully inform you of the passing, on August 2, 2024 at the age of 51, of Daniel Darahem, CEO of JPMorgan Brasil and longtime Chamber affiliate and Board member.

Mr. Darahem joined JPMorgan in 1997 and spent a remarkable 27 years working globally with the bank, always exuding a high level of passion and integrity.  In 2005, he became Head of Equity Capital Markets for Latin America, and in 2008, Co-Head of Investment Banking for Brazil.  For over four years, he worked in Hong Kong as Head of Equity Capital Markets for Asia Pacific.  Upon his return to Brazil, he was appointed CEO of JPMorgan, a position he held since 2020.  During his tenure, in 2021, JPMorgan acquired a 40% stake in C6 Bank as part of the digital platform model that has been one of the bank’s priorities.

In 2023, Mr. Darahem was recognized by Bloomberg Línea as one of the “500 Most Influential People in Latin America.”

Mr. Darahem’s dialogue with the Chamber strengthened ties between Brazil and the United States and furthered the Chamber’s mission of promoting trade and investment between the two nations.  Beyond his professional achievements, Mr. Darahem was a friend and mentor – and a beacon of kindness, wisdom, and support.  He is survived by his wife and two children.
