BNY Mellon has promoted Richard Gill to lead its markets business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Gill will be responsible for leading business strategy in the region, working alongside Mark Militello, head of BNY Mellon Markets for the Asia Pacific region.
Having spent more than 20 years at BNY Mellon, Gill’s previous positions include co-head of FX trading and chief FX dealer.
In his new role, he will also be a member of the markets executive management team, the markets risk committee and the EMEA chairman’s forum.
Based in London, he will report to Michelle Neal, president of BNY Mellon Markets and, locally, to Michael Cole-Fontayn, chairman of EMEA at BNY Mellon.
Neal said: “Richard Gill’s appointment allows us to better balance global and regional considerations in managing our businesses.”
She added: “Our senior regional executives in EMEA and Asia Pacific (APAC) now have dual reporting lines to the head of the region and to the global head of their business. These changes will empower these executives and give them significant input on issues that affect local employees, business partners and clients.”
The appointment comes after Deutsche Bank’s Piers Murray was announced as the new COO of BNY Mellon Markets business, effective 15 June.
