BNY Mellon has appointed Francis Giglio as Asia Pacific (APAC) head of depository receipts
Based in Hong Kong, Giglio will oversee new business development and client relationship management. He will also join the APAC Leadership Council.
Giglio joined BNY Mellon in April 2016 as director of depository receipts in the APAC region.
Previously, Giglio was general manager for APAC for Nasdaq. He has been based in the region since 2010.
In his new role, Giglio replaces Neil Atkinson, who has returned to London to take on the role of global head of strategic initiatives for depository receipts at BNY Mellon.
Christopher Kearns, CEO of BNY Mellon's depository receipts business, said: “Francis Giglio has been an integral part of the senior team in Asia Pacific.”
He added: “His expertise and industry knowledge will be vital as we reinforce BNY Mellon’s depository receipts leadership globally and in APAC.”
David Cruikshank, BNY Mellon's chairman for APAC and chairman of the APAC executive committee, added: “BNY Mellon is well positioned to connect issuers in the region with the global investment community and Francis Giglio is the ideal leader to guide our depository receipts business in APAC.”
Last week, BNY Mellon announced the appointment of Charles Scharf as its new CEO and director. Sharf is also set to become chairman of the board from January 2018.
The bank has also made two additional senior appointments this week.
Jamie Gleeson has been appointed as head of relationship management for alternative investment services and Edwin Parker is taking over as director of business development for private equity, real estate and debt for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
