The thesis

Why this org is unusual

Two Co-Presidents jointly oversee all eight of Bank of America’s major lines of business, an uncommon structure among global banks.

Rather than appointing a single COO with end-to-end P&L authority, the firm split operating leadership in September 2025 between Dean Athanasia and James DeMare, both reporting directly to CEO Brian Moynihan. This creates parallel oversight across Consumer Banking, GWIM, Global Banking, and Global Markets.

The CEO maintains a wide span of control with 11 direct reports, including deep functional leaders in risk, technology, legal, and operations. This reflects regulatory demands and the firm’s emphasis on centralized risk, credit, and technology governance. Business presidents such as GCIB sit one layer below the Co-Presidents, reinforcing a divisional model with strong corporate control.

  • Dual Co-President structure
  • No single enterprise COO with P&L control
  • High CEO span driven by regulatory functions
