In this role, he was responsible for leading client engagement across asset managers, asset owners, alternative investment managers, insurance companies, banks and broker-dealers.

He previously led the firm’s fund services business, encompassing accounting solutions, alternative investment services, ETF services and investor solutions.

He also holds a number of industry board positions, including serving on the board of directors of CIBC Mellon, the joint venture between CIBC and BNY, and on the board of Innocap Investment Management, an alternative investment platform provider.
Commenting on his departure, Flanagan says via LinkedIn: “After 18 remarkable years at BNY, I’ve made the decision to move on and begin an exciting new chapter in my professional journey.
“It has been a privilege to work alongside so many talented colleagues, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunities that shaped both my career and perspective as a leader. I’m excited about what’s next and will begin my new role in mid-March.”
