2018 proved to be a big year for Peter Scher, who has spent an entire career working in the District. After getting his start in political and federal government work, Scher — a New York native — pivoted to the private sector in 2000, spending eight years at Mayer Brown.
In 2008, Scher joined JPMorgan Chase & Co., where he has spent the past decade working toward his latest role as head of corporate responsibility and chairman of the Mid-Atlantic region.
