Wells Shuffles Some Top Banking Execs - In Anticipation of What...?

October 10, 2016

Wells Fargo announced that it’s shuffling a number of top executives even as the bank continues to grapple with the fallout from its sales-tactics scandal.  The moves allow President and COO Timothy Sloan to cement the position of a number of his lieutenants, according to people familiar with the bank.  Mr. Sloan is heir apparent to CEO John Stumpf.

 

Mr. Sloan so far has been shielded from most of the outrage directed at the bank over sales problems that led it last month to agree to a $185 million fine and enforcement action with regulators and a city official. Mr. Stumpf has borne the brunt of the ire: during 2 congressional hearings some legislators called on him to resign.

 

San Francisco-based Wells Fargo announced the management moves ahead of its Q3 earnings Friday. As part of these changes, it announced the creation of a new payments, digital and innovation group and named a number of top executives to its operating committee, the upper echelons of management.
