Haas Alumnus Named Wells Fargo Head of Commercial Banking
Haas School of Business alumnus, Rohan Kalbag, has been named the Head of Commercial Banking for Northern California at Wells Fargo. Kalbag is a longtime Wells Fargo employee. He began his career with Wells Fargo’s Global Banking Group as an international relationship manager for Northern California. He has also served in several management positions, including oversight of Asia-Pacific markets.
He has also served in positions that were based in Hong Kong, where he managed business in Japan, Taiwan, China, Singapore, India, Australia, and Hong Kong. Most recently, Kalbag has served as the sales manager for Wells Fargo Commercial Banking in the West, including California, Oregon and Washington.
In his new position, Kalbag will oversee more than 100 team members at offices in Chico, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Walnut Creek and San Francisco. His appointment follows the promotion of Lisa Finer, former head of Commercial Banking in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, who recently joined the Wells Fargo Corporate Risk Program Office.
“I welcome the opportunity to help middle market companies in Northern California achieve their financial goals and expand domestically and internationally if that’s their objective,” Kalbag told abladvisor. “The San Francisco Bay Area, and California in general, experience greater influence from the Asian markets due primarily to the proximity of the Ports of Oakland, Los Angeles and Long Beach, and the migration of people and businesses.”
Kalbag earned his MBA from Haas in addition to a master’s degree from the University of London and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Bristol, England.
