He holds an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management and graduate degrees in financial mathematics and telecommunications engineering.

"Wells Fargo’s scale and depth of customer relationships create a powerful opportunity to put AI to work," Gea-Carrasco said. "I’m joining to make everyday banking simpler for our customers and deliver measurable business outcomes, with the controls and accountability our customers expect."
