Wall Street Journal banking reporter Alexander Saeedy has signed a contract to write a book about JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon.
Called “Captain of Industry,” the book will chronicle how Dimon rode a wave of immense consolidation in financial services and survived successive crises to become the preeminent CEO of our times.
Saeedy has also covered covered credit markets, financial distress and sovereign debt for The Journal.
Before The Journal, he was at Reorg covering corporate bankruptcy. Saeedy previously was a senior reporter for Leveraged Commentary & Data. Prior to joining LCD, he was a journalist at Euromoney’s New York offices, reporting breaking news and delivering scoops on the institutions and personalities that animate Wall Street. Before covering finance and economics in the U.S., he was a reporter in Brussels, covering EU politics.
He won an Overseas Press Club Fellowship in 2015, placing him at Reuters’ Brussels bureau at the height of the Greek debt crisis, and was subsequently a freelance reporter across Europe.
He graduated from Yale in 2015 with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in history.
