Wells Fargo & Co on Friday named banking veteran Charles Scharf its next chief executive officer, ending a six-month search for a new leader to turn around the fortunes of the scandal-plagued bank, sending its shares up more than 4%. Scharf, who joins the fourth-largest U.S. bank effective next month after a 2-year stint leading Bank of New York Mellon , will become Wells Fargo’s third CEO in as many years.
