"Boston is home to one of the largest and fastest-growing commercial banking divisions at Wells Fargo," said Greg O’Brien, head of Wells Fargo Commercial Banking in New England. "Adding Doug to our highly-regarded executive advisory board fits perfectly into our strategy and commitment to grow our business throughout this region."

During his career, Bryant held senior management positions with Mellon Bank and Bank of America and its legacy New England banks. He holds a bachelor’s degree in American History from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and a master’s from Harvard Business School in Boston. He recently completed a two-year assignment as chairman of the board of trustees of the Greater New England Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and he continues to serve on that organization’s executive committee.

The executive advisor role has become an integral part of Wells Fargo Commercial Banking throughout the East Coast. First launched in Boston in 2013, the company has also established executive advisors in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
