BNY Mellon Sees Another Change in its Top Ranks
There's a new chief at Bank of New York Mellon's wealth management unit. A spokeswoman for the New York-based bank confirmed that former wealth management chief David Lamere resigned from BNY Mellon last month and that Lawrence Hughes has stepped up to fill the role.
The move follows the recent departure of Lamere's counterpart atop the asset management unit, Ron O'Hanley, who is jumping to Fidelity this summer to lead corporate services and asset management (see The MFWire, 5/10/2010). According to an SEC filing, O'Hanley will leave BNY Mellon by August 8. The bank has yet to name a permanent successor for O'Hanley, but Mitchell Harris and Jonathan Little are currently filling O'Hanley's shoes on an interim basis.
Hughes, a 19-year company veteran who now reports to BNY Mellon chairman and CEO Robert Kelly, previously served as president of U.S. markets for BNY Mellon's wealth management unit. That unit works with $157 billion in private client assets.
"Larry's appointment ensures the continuation of a successful growth strategy that has resulted in 17 consecutive quarters of positive long-term asset growth," Kelly stated.
Bloomberg and Dow Jones both reported on the news.
