J.P. Morgan Asset Management has appointed Stephanie Davis as head of Private Wealth Alternatives, tasking her with leading client strategy and go-to-market execution across its private markets platform. The firm also named Sean Flynn as Private Wealth Alternatives National Manager. 

Based in New York, Davis will report to Steve Lundquist, head of U.S. Advisor. She joins from Hamilton Lane, where she served as managing director and co-head of U.S. Private Wealth Solutions. 

Flynn, who previously led alternative investments for J.P. Morgan’s U.S. Wealth Management business, will partner with Davis to oversee a growing team of field-based client advisors focused on alternative investment education and engagement. The team is expected to expand to 20 dedicated professionals by year end, contributing to a broader U.S. Advisor organization of 350 professionals. 

“Stephanie’s and Sean’s track records and deep experience specializing in serving this important client segment will accelerate our momentum as investor demand for alternative investments continues to climb,” said Lundquist.  

The firm now manages $600 billion in alternatives.
