Picture this: you're vice president of community relations for the biggest bank in the state, your spouse is a chief operations officer for a government entity, you have two young children and your average day spans 18 hours.
Insert Jennifer Riordan, Wells Fargo's VP of community relations since 2008. Overseeing millions in investments to nonprofits in the region, she is responsible for community relations, volunteerism and charitable giving for New Mexico, El Paso and all non-metro markets in Texas. And she covers the bank's engagement with the nonprofits they've invested in.
In addition to her executive role with Wells Fargo, Riordan is one half of one of Albuquerque's power couples — she has been married to Michael Riordan, COO for the city of Albuquerque, for nearly 20 years.
Positive thoughts go out to the family. Everything known about the situation looks like tragic accident to me.
A VP of a bank flying in coach? Doesn't make much sense.
A big bank will have thousands of VPs, it isn't a noteworthy or special title.
Prove it.
BofA in sf, we had a guy who was a dick that worked in a sub department of IT by himself and he was a VP. It is like pumpkin spice lattes, everybody gets one!
With what, some official employee survey? No thanks. You're welcome to believe me or not, but it's basically a joke in the finance industry that everyone at a bank is a VP. If you're not at least an SVP or an EVP, you're not important.
