Wells Fargo promoted Erick Strati to regional vice president of commercial banking for South Florida.

Strati, a 17-year company veteran, most recently served as a senior relationship manager for commercial banking in South Florida. Strati began his banking career in Hollywood, FL, as a branch manager with Bank of America. He joined Wells Fargo predecessor Wachovia Bank as a branch manager in Pembroke Park and Lauderhill, Florida in 1998.
