Member Spotlight: Interview of Andy Roseliep, Market Executive at J.P. Morgan’s Multinational Corporate Banking

This month, we are thrilled to spotlight an experienced financial leader: Andy Roseliep, Market Executive within J.P. Morgan’s Multinational Corporate Banking Group.

J.P. Morgan is a valued Ambassador Member of the Rocky Mountain French American Chamber of Commerce. Its Multinational Corporate Banking group helps global companies – both public and private – manage financial needs and support growth objectives. By combining local expertise with worldwide resources, J.P. Morgan provides customized financial solutions to clients across North America.

1. Andy, how would you define yourself?

I would consider myself naturally curious, goal-oriented, and someone who likes to help those around me grow and develop their networks. Connecting people, providing advice and helping generate ideas probably stems from my early years growing up in a family business. My dad owned and operated a small business for over 30 years – I learned early on the importance of building strong relationships and surrounding oneself with good people. Reputation matters and people seek out help – I think those two things can’t be emphasized enough.

I’m also very family-oriented man and enjoy spending time with my wife and our two daughters. They help me stay grounded and not take life too seriously, which is always a good reminder.

2. Can you share about your background and career? What achievements or milestones are you most proud of in your career?

I studied finance at ASU’s W.P. Carey School of Business where I did my undergraduate work and years later completed my MBA. I graduated during the financial crisis so jobs in finance were hard to come by. I found my first job by networking with alumni and felt lucky to find something during that time. Years later I earned my MBA and moved to Charlotte to join a rotational development program for master’s graduates within Bank of America’s Global Banking and Markets group.

In 2019, I transitioned to J.P. Morgan and returned to Phoenix – just before the onset of COVID. While the world came to a standstill, I gained a deep appreciation for working at a firm like J.P. Morgan – supporting clients through such a challenging time was especially rewarding.

Today, I serve as a Market Executive, leading a team of specialized bankers across the Southwest region of the U.S. Our focus is strengthening relationships with new and existing clients.

3. Can you share with us a major challenge that you faced in your career, and how you overcame it?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that patience pays off – both in managing my career and in navigating my day-to-day responsibilities. Finance is very much an apprenticeship model: you put in the work, gain experience by being hands-on, and gradually build the expertise needed to advance. It’s natural at times to feel overlooked or passed up, but by consistently delivering for clients and stakeholders, you earn leadership’s trust and position yourself for growth opportunities in current and future roles.

4. Can you tell us more about your role at J.P. Morgan?

Within my team, we support U.S. subsidiaries of foreign (non-U.S.) owned companies as they expand within the U.S. through foreign direct investment opportunities. One of the most exciting aspects of my role is to work with companies from all around the world, which has given me exposure to new languages, cultures, and ways of doing business.

I’ve had a front-row seat to the transformation across the Southwest corridor into one of the most dynamic regions in the U.S. Companies that once focused on major hubs like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles are now increasingly choosing markets such as Denver and Phoenix for relocations and expansions. The appeal comes from competitive advantages such as abundant land and infrastructure, lower costs of living, favorable tax environment, and access to skilled talent – plugging into the ASU and U of A ecosystems is invaluable.

I’ve also seen major catalysts accelerate this shift. TSMC’s semiconductor investments in Phoenix has created a ripple effect across advanced manufacturing. ASU’s schools like W.P. Carey and Thunderbird, along with chambers of commerce and organizations like GPEC, strengthen the local ecosystem by fostering diversification, collaboration and spur continued foreign direct investment. Even seemingly small developments – like Air France’s direct flight from Paris to Phoenix – make the region more accessible and competitive.

We value our partnership with the Rocky Mountain French American Chamber of Commerce, and we’re proud to play a role in promoting the region and supporting business through events and other initiatives.

5. A lot of members are entrepreneurs and small business owners. What advice would you give them to manage their finances well, including getting funding to support the growth of their business?

My advice to entrepreneurs and small business owners is to build a strong network of trusted advisors. Surround yourself with people who can provide guidance, make introductions, and open doors to funding and resources. The best business leaders know what they don’t know, and they leverage local institutions and networks, and partner with the right advisors to scale effectively.

It’s also critical to be able to clearly articulate your strategy and long-term plan – how you intend to grow and, ultimately, exit. Today, there are more capital options than ever – venture/early stage capital, small business programs, non-bank lenders, banking partnerships – so you can tap into these ecosystems and gain valuable support. 

6. Are there any new developments that you are excited about?

Three notable developments happening real-time include:

First, the rapid growth of direct lending. Since 2021, J.P. Morgan has deployed over $13 billion of capital to over 100 borrowers. Building on that success, we’ve expanded our balance sheet commitment to $50 billion, giving us the ability to support more clients and compete effectively in this growing market.

Second, the rise of private equity in the middle market, which has grown about 30% over the past five years. Much of this growth is fueled by baby boomer succession, as businesses transition to second- or third-generation ownership. To meet this demand, we’ve established a mid-cap financial sponsors group dedicated to facilitating these transactions.

Third, the opportunities offered by AI. At J.P. Morgan, we’ve developed an internal suite of large language models now used daily by more than 200,000 employees. The applications range from preparing client presentations to analyzing call notes to identifying economic trends. We see AI as a powerful tool to support both our teams and our clients, and we’re excited to continue embracing its potential as the technology advances.

7. What advice would you give to someone who is considering a career similar to yours? What is it that you wish you had known when you started your career that you know now?

I’d tell my younger self not to feel pressured to have everything figured out from the start. Take time to explore, experiment, and discover what truly excites you. Some of the most impressive colleagues I’ve worked with in finance didn’t study business at all; they bring fresh perspectives that enrich our work, foster internal collaboration and deliver at a high level for our clients and stakeholders.

Your career path doesn’t have to be linear. You can pivot, build your network, and pursue opportunities that align with your evolving interests. The key is to stay curious, take risks, and give yourself the space to grow.
