A Successful Climb

Joe Disanti, 39  Wachovia/Wells Fargo Bank

Joe Disanti has a white-collar resume trapped in a blue-collar body.

His thick thumbs and fingernails hold the dirt and grime of a guy who worked his way through college as a factory mechanic. His accent and demeanor is straight out of central casting for an Italian New Yorker, down to how he sprinkles “yous guys” into conversation and the picture hanging on his office wall of him chatting it up with Rudy Giuliani.
