REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR GREATER VIRGINIA, WELLS FARGO, ROANOKE
Virginia Business //September 2, 2025//
Faw, who has worked at Wells Fargo for three decades, was named regional executive for the bank’s greater Virginia market, a territory that spans from Virginia Beach to Bristol, in 2024. A Bedford County resident, she is responsible for 93 branches and oversees more than 700 employees.
Starting out as a bank teller in Bedford, Faw became a district manager in Roanoke in 2009. In that role, she managed 11 retail bank branches for Wells Fargo. Later, Faw moved into the bank’s affluent customer sector, where she ultimately became the division’s field director in 2019.
In 2023, Wells Fargo announced plans to spend $87 million to modernize and expand its Roanoke County customer support center, adding 1,100 jobs in a deal making the bank the county’s largest employer.
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo had about $1.92 trillion in assets at the end of 2024. It is the nation’s fourth largest bank.
In June, the Federal Reserve lifted the $1.95 trillion asset cap imposed upon Wells Fargo in 2018 after determining the bank had improved its governance and controls.
