17-year banking vet to lead commercial banking for North Houston

HOUSTON – Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) today announced that 17-year banking veteran Whitney Wall has joined its South Texas Middle Market Banking leadership team as a senior vice president and regional manager. Based in The Woodlands, Texas, Wall replaces longtime market leader Brad Thompson, who now heads commercial banking statewide in Oklahoma.

Wall now oversees Wells Fargo’s local Middle Market Banking operations in North Houston, providing credit, treasury management, and deposit products to mid-market companies with revenues of $20 million and higher. She leads a team of commercial banking experts that delivers a localized lending approach, providing more than 80 Wholesale Banking services to some of the area’s largest and most-recognizable companies in agriculture, energy, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, distribution, and technology industries.

“I have known Whitney for many years and have always been impressed with her insight, acumen, and commitment to helping businesses grow,” said Jonathan Homeyer, South Texas division manager for Wells Fargo. “Whitney’s expertise and passion will help us seamlessly continue Brad’s great work serving our North Houston customers and community with integrity and diligence.”

Middle-market companies drive the U.S. economy as an important engine of job creation. More than 200,000 companies — mostly privately held — generate more than $10 trillion in annual revenues. In Texas, mid-market companies generate more than $500 billion in annual revenue.

Wall joined Wells Fargo in 2001 and has served in a number of roles in Wells Fargo Securities and Wells Fargo Bank in Dallas and San Francisco. She most recently worked in Wells Fargo’s Energy Credit Resolution group, managing a portfolio in the oilfield services sector. Wall earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from Texas A&M University. She serves on the Woodlands Area Economic Development Partnership board.

Like Wall, nearly 20,000 Wells Fargo team members live, work, and support customers in Texas. They also volunteered 160,149 hours in 2017 and donated nearly $4 million in communities statewide. Wells Fargo donated more than $13 million to Texas nonprofits and schools that same year, including nearly $5.7 million for community development, financial literacy, housing, and small business projects.
