Jeffrey,
Here are my thoughts vis-a-vis Jes.
Let me know how you/ he want to proceed and I will get on it. Calls can happen anytime and I can see people
back in London after Tuesday. Rupert and George are both very close to Mervyn King and top BoE staff.
(i.e. I am seeing the Chancellor anyway next Thursday.)
Press
It is nigh impossible to get appointed without having floated a trial balloon in the press. Besides, there is
no downside for him at JPM to know that he is sufficiently good that the Barclays board are considering
him for CEO.
I would speak to Mark Kleinman, Business Editor of SkyNews and Jeff Randall, Editor-at-large and
Chief Business Columnist of the Telegraph to put out that high-level sources suggest that JPM
investment bank chief Jes Staley is being courted by headhunters.... among other things, Staley has done
an impeccable job of handling JPM's relationships with European bank chiefs, politicians and regulators
throughout the Euro crisis.
Treasury
I propose to call my longtime friend Rupert Harrison, George Osbome's chief of staff to say that Jes is in
the running - and would make the best pick for the job. Rupert and George are both very close to
Mervyn King and top BoE staff.
Also to say that if Rupert/ George want to chat off-record to Jes, we can organise that.
Barclays
I would chat with Mike Rake to make the case for Jes, and also point out that he (Rake) will get praise
for appointing him.
And that the financial press, FSA, BoE and Treasury will look kindly on the appointment.
I won't do anything before hearing back from you but I'm ready to go into bat for our friend.
Best wishes,
Ian
