BNY Mellon has appointed Adam Gelder as head of financial institutions for its corporate trust team in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Gelder will be responsible for the growth and development of the company’s financial institutions business in EMEA and reports to Robert Wagstuff, head of UK sales and relationship management.
He brings a wealth of corporate trust experience to his new position. Prior to his new role, he served at Deutsche Bank for 18 years in client service, relationship management and sales.
Dean Fletcher, head of corporate trust EMEA at BNY Mellon, commented: “Financial institutions, and in particular global systemically important banks, are core to our growth strategy. They maintain a dominant position in the debt capital markets and constitute about a third of our corporate trust business in EMEA. Gelder’s experience and expertise means that he is well placed to drive this strategy forward.”
