I am a wealth management and private banking executive who built my career learning the vital basics of financial services as a branch teller and then stepping in to roles with increasing responsibilities through caring about people, continuously delivering best in class results, and honing analytical skills. From retail banking regional president responsible for a team of 650+ to overseeing one of the largest and top Wealth Management regions in the nation, I’m passionate about building successful businesses and turning underperforming markets into models for success.Raised in a small town north of Los Angeles by a dad (and mom) who served 23 years in the Air Force, I learned the values of hard work, character, loyalty, determination and the importance of family. I moved to Los Angeles at 18 where I put myself through college and continued to apply those values throughout my 35-year career with Wells Fargo in both retail banking and wealth management. Had it not been for recent significant organizational changes, I would have ended my career at the same place I started. I view this change as an opportunity to harness my years of success in building high performing teams and growing businesses on an even larger scale.Chris_rommel @ hotmail.com*No sales solicitations, please*
