BNY Mellon has appointed Stephan Koschmieder as head of business development for the Germany, Austria and Central and Eastern Europe region.
In this newly created role, Stephan Koschmieder will focus primarily on growing BNY Mellon’s custody, depositary and fund accounting services.
Koschmieder is based in Frankfurt and will report to Dennis Presburg, head of asset servicing business development for Northern Europe.
