BNY Mellon has named Marina Lewin as head of sales for its Asset Servicing business in the Americas.
Lewin will report to Samir Pandiri, CEO of Americas Asset Servicing & Alternative Investment Services. She will be based in New York, managing teams in the U.S., Dublin, London and Hong Kong.
Lewin also will continue to lead global sales for the BNY Mellon Alternative Investment Services (AIS) group.
Lewin joined BNY Mellon in 2000. Previously she held a number of roles at J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank in operations management, product management and product development. She was also named a GC Legend in 2008.
“Our AIS business has more than doubled its assets under administration the last four years, with Marina a major force behind that growth,” Pandiri says. “As institutional investors continue to make alternatives a larger core of their portfolios, we’ll see a sharing in the kinds of services we can offer clients on both sides. Services like prime custody also point to the growing need among hedge fund managers for wider custodial capabilities.
“Plan sponsors and hedge fund managers alike are dealing with issues around transparency, new regulations, risk management, and operational efficiency, Pandiri continues. Marina brings strong leadership skills that will help us integrate the solutions we deliver to all our investment services clients and reach new ones as the industry evolves.
