Then he staged a triumphant return to New York City, when Bank One merged with JPMorgan Chase last year. In 2006 Dimon will become the merged firm's CEO, but he has already begun reshaping the institution in the trademark no-nonsense style he developed while at Citigroup. He has made key personnel changes...
