Wells Fargo has appointed Oscar Suris as the head of corporate communications and an executive vice president of the company.

Mr. Suris joins Wells Fargo from Ford Motor where he served most recently as director of corporate communications and development. He succeeds Larry Haeg, who led corporate communications at Wells Fargo. However, Mr. Haeg will continue with the company as an advisor.

Reportedly, Mr. Suris will report to Patricia Callahan, an executive vice president who oversees the office of transition for the Wells Fargo-Wachovia merger, corporate communications, corporate human resources, enterprise expense management and the social responsibility group.
