Wells Fargo & Co., facing calls to hold senior managers accountable for a scandal over unauthorized customer accounts, said a top risk manager has taken a leave of absence on the eve of Chief Executive Officer John Stumpf’s testimony before the Senate Banking Committee. Claudia Russ Anderson began a six-month unpaid leave on Monday, becoming at least the second senior Wells Fargo executive to depart the community banking division since July.
