A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the street then stealing it during New York City’s Knicks championship parade was a director at JPMorgan Chase who was fired Tuesday over the incident, The Post has learned.
Which is a surprise, because to look at her she didn’t appear to be the sort of person who would be holding down a responsible and respectable job!
Angie Báez, 40, was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase more than a year ago, according to her LinkedIn profile.She previously served as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at New York-based review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired as part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content.
Ah, now the penny drops!
Sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told The Post, “This employee is no longer with the company.”
Maybe reconsider the desire for DEI brownie points that drove her hire in the first place?
Baez also appears to have co-founded a queer and Black, Indigenous and People of Color-owned talent agency, Same Page Co. which is “focused on increasing representation and equity in media and industry. It works with artists/talent on creative projects, photoshoots, strategy, and business affairs.”
Well, at least she has something to fall back on!
