Former J.P. Morgan Investment Banker Brings Mid-Market Capital-Raising Experience to Board

HepQuant, LLC, a Denver, Colorado-based company with a unique, patented and patent-pending technology for evaluating the liver in patients with chronic liver disease, today announced that former J.P. Morgan Investment Banker Chris Jensen has been named to HepQuant’s Business Advisory Board.

Previously, Mr. Jensen served as a senior executive for Chase Commercial Banking supporting J.P. Morgan’s Greater West Segment in commercial and investment banking business development.

Prior to this role, he spent close to three decades as Managing Director of Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan for a range of clients in New York, Tokyo, and Denver, supporting them with advisory, capital raising, and mergers and acquisitions services. His clients competed in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, technology and fintech industries.

“I’ve known Greg Everson and HepQuant President Randy Dietrich for many years and have seen their outstanding progress,” said Mr. Jensen. “I appreciate the potential HepQuant has to revolutionize the field of liver diagnostics and I am looking forward to supporting this team and their goals.”

A University of Utah graduate in Finance, Mr. Jensen earned his MBA in Finance and Accounting from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.
