Former TIAA Bank CEO Blake Wilson

WJCT News partner News4Jax reports that two months after TIAA Bank announced the retirement of CEO Blake Wilson, the Jacksonville-based bank has decided instead to fire Wilson over unspecified policy violations.

News4Jax quoted an email sent to employees by Wilson’s successor, Steve Fischer:

“I am writing to inform you that Blake Wilson is no longer employed by TIAA Bank," Fischer’s email said in part. “Serious matters were brought to our attention following the announcement of his retirement, and after a full investigation, it has been determined that he failed to adhere to company standards of conduct, and violated personnel and other policies.”

News4Jax reported a TIAA Bank spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the internal memo but declined to issue a comment.
