About J. Christopher Flowers
J. Christopher Flowers runs private equity firm J.C. Flowers & Co., which focuses on the financial services sector.
Flowers studied math at Harvard and then joined Goldman Sachs in 1979, becoming a partner in 1988.
He struck out on his own a decade later and in 2000 bought a beleaguered Japanese bank, Long Term Credit Bank, which had been nationalized in 1998.

In 2008, he helped advise Bank of America and Merrill Lynch on their merger.
