REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR GREATER VIRGINIA, WELLS FARGO, ROANOKE
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
In April, Faw, who has worked at Wells Fargo for close to three decades, was named the regional executive for the greater Virginia market, a territory that spans from Virginia Beach to Bristol. She replaced Janet M. Tope, who worked at Wells Fargo for more than 35 years before retiring this spring.
Faw, who lives in Bedford County, is responsible for 93 branches and oversees more than 700 employees.
Starting 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 affluent customer sector, where she ultimately became the division’s field director in 2019.
In September 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 that will make the bank the county’s largest employer.
San Francisco-based Wells Fargo has about $1.73 trillion in consolidated assets and is the nation’s third largest bank, according to June numbers from the Federal Reserve.
