Recently, he faced backlash on Twitter after made the remarks ‘Limited pool of black talent to recruit from’ on a 90-minute Zoom call earlier this summer only to reiterate them in a June 18 memo.
He first made the remarks during a company zoom call and then repeated those sentiments via a June 18 memo regarding diversity initiatives following the nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd.
“While it might sound like an excuse, the unfortunate reality is that there is a very limited pool of black talent to recruit from,” the memo said. Later, he said in the next five years to double the amount of African American employees in key positions at Wells Fargo. Curently, he’s already added two people of color, Lester Owens, head of operations, and Ather Williams, head of Strategy to the bank’s powerful operating committee.
