“Wells Fargo is focused on transforming our risk management practices and we are committed to being very engaged and completely transparent with our regulators so they have a full understanding of the progress we are making in building a stronger organization,” said Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan. “Hiring a leader with Sarah’s background is another important step in strengthening our risk infrastructure and organization.”

In her new role, Dahlgren will be responsible for oversight of regulatory relations for Wells Fargo’s Corporate Risk organization. She will ensure an organized and cohesive approach to working with the supervisory staffs of the company’s federal regulators and will work with colleagues to coordinate efforts with regulators in other jurisdictions.

“Sarah’s deep understanding of financial services regulation is a welcome addition to our Corporate Risk team,” said Loughlin. “With Sarah’s leadership, I am confident we will strengthen our ability to communicate with our regulators about our progress, solicit their feedback and input and consistently meet our regulatory obligations.”

Dahlgren joined McKinsey in 2016.
