Charlie Scharf
The Operator
Execution, delivery and performance, gets the hard thing done.
Charlie Scharf is The Operator in a role that rewards one. As Wells Fargo chief executive he leads an institution whose scale leaves little room for improvisation, and on The David Rubenstein Show he came across as a leader who measures himself by what runs better under his watch. His instinct bends toward process, accountability and disciplined follow through, the unglamorous mechanics that give a chief executive lasting credibility.
“We've sold twenty two businesses. We did it to eliminate hobbies, to get rid of things that we just weren't interested investing in. We have four big lines of businesses.”
“You've got to be very selective and looking at your balance sheet... How do we reallocate that balance sheet usage? We focused a lot on businesses that drove fee based revenues.”
“ninety five percent of our revenues come from the US. We really live and breathe by the success of the US customer in the US business.”
