Wells Fargo Equipment Finance promoted Scott Collier to chief administrative officer. Collier assumes the role previously held by James Dore, who was recently named WFEF chief credit officer.

Based in Minneapolis, Collier brings more than 20 years of experience in financial services to his new role. He will be responsible for working closely with leaders of WFEF and other Wholesale Banking business lines to develop and deliver on business objectives and coordinate execution of major initiatives.

“Scott’s extensive knowledge of equipment finance and his background in collaborating within our organization will be a meaningful addition to our leadership team,” said Bill Mayer, head of Wells Fargo Equipment Finance. “With Scott’s expertise, we look forward to continued success in our business.”

Collier joined Wells Fargo in 1998 and has supported WFEF since 2008, most recently as senior finance leader. In that role, he supported key business initiatives, including Wells Fargo’s GE Capital acquisition. Previously, he was a WFEF finance manager and held finance and capital markets positions in Wells Fargo Auto Finance and Corporate Development.

WFEF is one of seven Wells Fargo lines of business that comprise WFCC, which also includes Capital Finance, Commercial Distribution Finance, Corporate Trust Services, Renewable Energy and Environmental Finance, Specialty Finance and Strategic Capital.
