Eric Fornell, Vice Chairman of investment banking with Wells Fargo Securities, played a key role in the company's expansion into Canada in 2012. In addition to upholding responsibility for the company's nationwide introduction, Eric Fornell led the recruitment for both the Calgary and Toronto banking teams.
In late 2012, Wells Fargo Securities announced that it intended to prioritize the Canadian market in its international expansion efforts. The company secured government approval in September of that year and subsequently added bankers with specialization in commercial real estate, commercial lending, corporate banking, and energy investment banking. These newly hired professionals, based in Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary, have since allowed Wells Fargo to serve US companies with interests in Canada as well as Canada-based companies with and without US interests.
In 2014, Wells Fargo announced a further expansion of its capabilities in the Canadian market by adding underwriting services. This announcement followed the company's receipt of regulatory approval, and preceded the undertaking of internal reviews. Bond sales would follow completion of these reviews and would result in Wells Fargo's competition with Canada's five top-producing firms.
