Taj Campton Place Hotel
Noon – 1:30 p.m.
Wells Fargo, among all financial services companies, is ranked first in market value in America and in the world. With more than 270,000 team members and 70-million customers in 130 countries, Wells Fargo is proving that being big isn’t bad.
How does a San Francisco-headquartered bank that counts one in three U.S. households as customers shape its communication to shareholders and the investment community? Find out January 28th when our speaker is Jim Rowe, Wells Fargo Executive Vice President and Director of Investor Relations.
Jim Rowe was born in New York and raised in New Jersey. He’s worked in financial services for 33 years, including 20 years in Bay Area. Jim joined Wells Fargo in 2005 as senior strategic advisor with the Digital Channels Group and moved to investor relations in 2007. He holds an MBA in finance from New York University, and earned his BA at Boston University.
Prior to Wells Fargo, Jim was Executive Vice President of Providian Financial, President of Global E-Commerce at Providian, and CEO of leading financial marketplace getsmart.com.
Jim will discuss:
- What the Investor Relations practice consists of at Wells Fargo
- How Wells Fargo develops its strategic plan and objectives for the year
- How IR is different than PR — what challenges are different and which are the same
- How PR and IR can work together
- How IR is adapting to a more regulated federal and international environment
Join us for a rare glimpse into how one of the largest public companies in the world keeps its shareholders informed and the financial markets satisfied.
