Wells Fargo, the diversified, community-based financial services company, has elevated Padmavathi AV to vice president-human resource business partner.
Padmavathi has been with Wells Fargo since 2023 when she joined as senior human resources consultant.

A little less than three years later, she switched to Wells Fargo, in March of 2023.
Known for her energy, enthusiasm, learning agility and capability to build relationships, Padmavathi’s responsive attitude will continue to be an asset to Wells Fargo.
HRKatha wishes Padmavathi all the best as she continues to put her experience—in business partnering, HR policy making, capability building, organisation development – leadership development, succession planning, employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, learning & development, HR automation and so on—to use.
