Angie B\u00e1ez, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JPMorgan Chase spokesperson told The Post,\u201cThis employee is no longer with the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

B\u00e1ez could not be reached by The Post for comment Tuesday. Sources noted she had attended the parade in her personal capacity.<\/p>\n

Clips that surfaced over the weekend show B\u00e1ez dressed in Knicks gear, dumping the contents of a limited-edition blue-and-orange trash can onto a Manhattan sidewalk before walking off with the receptacle. Additional footage shows her riding the subway with the stolen bin.<\/p>\n

In a bio on The Infatuation\u2019s website, B\u00e1ez is described as someone whose \u201cdedication to making a positive impact shines through in every aspect of her work.\u201d The publication adds that \u201cAngie\u2019s efforts have helped position [The Infatuation] as a trailblazer in the pursuit of a more equitable and relatable food media industry,\u201d calling her one of the \u201cbrightest voices\u201d in the space.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a vibrant mosaic of Dominican heritage, Bronx roots, and a passion for storytelling, creativity, and culture, Angie continues to lead the way towards a more inclusive and equitable future for food media, leaving an indelible mark on The Infatuation and everything she touches,\u201d the bio states.<\/p>\n
