At the IMF meeting in Prague last year, the car carrying JP Morgan chairman Sandy Warner and the bank's president and CEO, Bill Harrison, got caught in the crossfire of anti-globalization protesters. The driver managed to get out of trouble and both men escaped unscathed.

Just 10 months after Chase's merger with JPMorgan it was clear that Harrison was firmly in the driving seat.
