Biography

Debra Langford is an Executive Director and the Head of Black Wealth Initiatives for J.P. Morgan Private Bank. In her leadership function, Debra champions the development of opportunities that guide affluent members of the Black community in the growth and preservation of their wealth, and in leaving generational legacies. She draws from her vast network and seasoned background to make J.P. Morgan the right partner for clients.

Debra has found that culture often shapes wealth decisions, and she creates content, sponsorships and events that position Bankers and families of color to engage. Accustomed to being the “first” in many roles, she excels at building strategic connections and inclusive environments, especially for underrepresented groups. Debra’s experience in attracting top talent is invaluable in making the Private Bank the employer of choice for Black advisors at all levels of the firm.

Following a career of producing outstanding results in media and entertainment content, Debra pivoted to deliver enterprise-level outcomes in diversity initiatives. This was manifest at Time Warner, where she designed innovative strategies to align hiring managers with skilled and diverse talent for senior positions. Similarly, at NBCUniversal, Debra was instrumental in showcasing best practices for reaching the multicultural audience. The entirety of her background brought her to J.P. Morgan in 2020 to lead Business Development for Advancing Black Pathways. She is proud to couple the strength of her skill set with the reputation of an industry leader.

Debra is Governor Edmund Brown’s appointee to the California Film Commission, and was President Barack Obama’s appointee to the USO Board of Governors for both terms. Philanthropic by nature, she is the Secretary for the Leading Women Defined Foundation.

A Los Angeles native, Debra earned a B.S. from the USC Marshall School of Business, where she later became the first Assistant Dean of Diversity at the Business School. She also created the Women’s MBA Conference series before moving to the USC Race and Equity Center as Chief Strategy Officer.

Debra is a family person, and is an avid photographer, plays tennis and supports a wide group of friends.
