JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon has paid tribute to Lloyd Blankfein as the fellow financial crisis survivor prepares to step down from his post at the top of Wall Street rival Goldman Sachs.

“My hat’s off to Lloyd,” Dimon said in a post on LinkedIn. “He has led his extraordinary firm for over 12 years – seeing it through the darkest days of the financial crisis and helping it emerge stronger than ever before.”
