David Linds is to retire from his role as senior vice president of business development and relationship management at CIBC Mellon on 1 July 2015.

The company also revealed that Rob Ferguson has been appointed senior vice president of capital markets, business development and relationship management and that Richard Anton has been appointed senior vice president and COO, with both appointments also effective 1 July 2015.

Linds has been with CIBC Mellon since its inception in 1996, and has led the company's sales and relationship management functions for more than a decade.

"A leader throughout CIBC Mellon's history, Linds helped grow the company to more than $1.5 trillion of client assets under administration from $100 billion over the past 16 years," said Tom Monahan, president and CEO of CIBC Mellon.

"[His] leadership, insights and relationship skills have been invaluable throughout the company's journey, and his passion for the business and for our clients is a point of great admiration across the firm."

In his newly-created role, Ferguson will take on overall responsibility for building and strengthening CIBC Mellon's relationships with clients across the asset servicing spectrum.

Ferguson has 25 years of industry experience, having also joined CIBC Mellon at the company's inception.

His prior roles at CIBC Mellon include vice president of product and client service, co-head of global securities lending, and most recently senior vice president of capital markets and product delivery.

With his appointment to the role of senior vice president and COO, Anton will continue to lead CIBC Mellon's client service delivery teams, while also taking on responsibility for the company's corporate project office, product management and centralised client administration functions.

Anton joined CIBC Mellon in 2014 in the role of vice president of operations and has nearly 20 years of financial industry experience.

His former roles include serving as chair of the board, senior vice president and COO at State Street Cayman Trust Company, and as a member of the board of directors for State Street Fund Services Toronto.
