NC Loses a Banking Legend and Friend

Published June 7, 2012

NC SPIN is deeply saddened by the death of John Medlin, former Wachovia Bank CEO. Mr. Medlin will be remembered by most for Wachovia's 10-fold growth under his leadership. But for those who knew him best, he will be remembered as a loyal, humble, steadfast leader who was quick to recognize the outstanding contributions of his team throughout his 16 year tenure as chief executive officer.

We were honored to interview Mr. Medlin in Winston-Salem on April 17, as part of our Carolina Collection Series. We are in the process of editing this interview to air as an NC SPIN broadcast and full length DVD. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the entire Medlin family and his extended Wachovia and Wells Fargo family. NC has lost a banking legend and friend.
