Ferguson Appointed to Sales and RM Role at CIBC Mellon

CIBC Mellon has appointed Robert Ferguson to the newly-created role of senior vice president, capital markets, business development and relationship management.

Ferguson, currently co-head of global securities lending at CIBC Mellon will take on overall responsibility for building and strengthening the Canadian bank’s relationships with clients across the asset-servicing spectrum.

Ferguson joined CIBC Mellon at the company’s inception in 1996. In addition to his latest role, Ferguson’s prior roles at CIBC Mellon include vice president, Product and Client service, co-head of Global Securities Lending, and most recently Senior Vice President, Capital Markets and Product Delivery.

His latest appointment comes as David Linds prepares to retire from his role as SVP, Business Development and Relationship Management on July 1, 2015.


Linds has been with CIBC Mellon since inception, and has led the company’s sales and relationship management functions for more than a decade.

Separately, Richard Anton has been appointed SVP and COO, with both appointments effective July 1, 2015.

“Rob and Richard are both visionary leaders with deep insights into the current and emerging needs of sophisticated investment management, financial services and pension fund clients in Canada.” said Tom Monahan, CEO, CIBC Mellon. “They are well positioned to help CIBC Mellon continue to move forward in delivering global solutions in Canada with client-focused service excellence.”
