Hani Kablawi has moved up a rung at BNY Mellon by becoming head of investment services for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Kablawi, previously head of asset servicing for the EMEA, will now lead the business strategy for investment services in the region.
He will continue to be based in London and reports to Brian Shea, CEO of investment services, and Michael Cole-Fontayn, chair of the EMEA.
Kablawi joined BNY Mellon 1997 and has held a number of roles in asset servicing, alternative investment services, corporate trust services, broker-dealer services, depository receipts and treasury services.
He is also a board member of the Arab Bankers Association.
“Hani Kablawi’s leadership during a period of unprecedented economic and regulatory change, and his unwavering focus on our clients’ success, make him exceptionally positioned to lead our investment services business in EMEA,” said Shea.
“Under Hani’s leadership we will continue to bring together buy-side and sell-side solutions, and capitalise on our significant investment in technology and innovation to drive growth across the region.”
Daron Pearce will replace Kablawi as CEO of asset servicing for the EMEA.
Pearce has a 16-year track record at BNY Mellon, most recently as CEO of global financial institutions for asset servicing. He will report to Kablawi and Samir Pandiri, who is CEO of asset servicing.
