Helen Oxley and Andrew Duffin have joined BNY Mellon’s Pershing as business development directors to expand its sales and client relationship management capability, based in London.
Duffin most recently worked as head of sales and relationship management, UK and Ireland at Société Genérale Securities Services, and brings 30 years’ experience in the post-trade industry.
Oxley joins from SEI Investments where she was director, head of solutions for the firms’ wealth platform. She brings over 22 years of financial services and business development experience.
Maarten Heukshorst, chief commercial officer at Pershing, said: “Shifting market demographics including pension freedoms and increased engagement in savings and investing underpin a growing need for financial advice. This is spurring tremendous growth of assets and clients in wealth management and financial advice, but the heavy regulatory change agenda is driving up the costs of doing business, which is forcing wealth managers and advisers to re-focus their attention and their resources on the customer proposition.”
“Meanwhile, for institutional market participants, the complexity of the trade lifecycle has changed dramatically in the past few years, pushing banks and broker dealers to continuously look for better operational efficiency. We are delighted to welcome Andrew and Helen to Pershing who will both be integral to our growth in Europe, the Middle East and Africa as we help support our clients in growing their business.”
