40 Under 40: Brian Formisano, Region Bank President, Wells Fargo Bank

Brian Formisano

Brian Formisano has discovered the formula to successful leadership: always put people first. He does so with his team of nearly 1,000 employees, as well as with every client that walks through the door at Wells Fargo.

Whether you’re an eager entrepreneur starting a dream business or planning for a balanced retirement, Formisano thrives at helping others succeed financially. But it’s the work of his team that makes him most proud. Having climbed the ranks himself, he is a humble, accessible and thoughtful leader—evidenced by the number of mentorship requests he receives.

Formisano is just as passionate about building community outside of the office as he is inside. He sits on several nonprofit boards and serves on the inaugural advisory committee for the City of Las Vegas Mayor’s Fund for LIFE. In 2020, Formisano was appointed by Gov. Steve Sisolak to serve as a board member for Jobs for Nevada Graduates.
