Who Is Lorna Hajdini? JPMorgan Executive Faces Abuse, Racism Allegations By Indian Colleague

JPMorgan Chase is facing intense scrutiny after a lawsuit raised serious allegations of harassment, discrimination, and abuse of power within its ranks. At the centre of the controversy is Lorna Hajdini, a senior figure whose career trajectory and conduct have come under the spotlight following claims made by a former colleague. The case, filed in the New York County Supreme Court, has drawn global attention, not just for the allegations but also for what it reveals about workplace culture in high-pressure financial environments.

According to her professional profile, Hajdini studied at NYU’s Stern School of Business and joined JPMorgan in 2011. She later completed Harvard Business School’s Private Equity and Venture Capital programme through executive education.

Beginning her career as an analyst, she rose steadily through the firm, becoming vice president in leveraged finance by 2018 and advancing to executive director in 2021. Outside her corporate role, her profile highlights an interest in wine, including a Level 2 certification from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust.
