Veteran economist Mark Vitner has retired.
Vitner, who was a managing director and senior economist at Wells Fargo, said in a LinkedIn post that his last day was Friday. He joined Wells Fargo from Wachovia, where he was the senior economist when the Financial Crisis took hold in 2008.
Vitner has been a mainstay at conferences and academic gatherings.
“I have been fortunate to work with a great organization and great people that supported me along the way,” Vitner said in his post.
“While I certainly will miss all of them, the trading floor, and the constant interaction with customers around the country, I am looking forward to spending more time with my wife and family, who made it possible for me to put in all those long hours, many of which took me a long way from home,” he added.
