Wells Fargo names new chief compliance officer
(Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co
Wells Fargo, the fourth largest U.S. bank, said Hollingsworth was most recently managing director and global head of Operations Compliance and Financial Crimes Compliance & Risk Management for Barclays Corporate & Investment Bank.
Hollingsworth, who will begin her new job at the start of June, has also served in a number of senior compliance and anti-money laundering roles within the industry, the bank said.
Compliance has gained importance at banks and financial institutions, as it deals with a slew of new rules written in the aftermath of the biggest financial meltdown since the Great Depression and faces greater regulatory scrutiny.
Shares of the San Francisco-based bank closed at $32.41 on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Jochelle Mendonca in Bangalore; Editing by Maju Samuel)
