Based in Hong Kong, Wang will focus on delivering the whole firm and ensuring clients have awareness and access to the company’s capabilities across an array of securities servicing and asset management solutions.

Wang will report to Christopher Sturdy, chairman of BNY Mellon’s Asia-Pacific region.

Wang has more than 20 years of financial services experience in various senior management positions including key roles at Deutsche Bank and Bankers Trust in Asia.

She was most recently a managing partner at Hong Kong-based hedge fund manager Adept Capital Partners, where she was responsible for strategic positioning and developing the investor base for the Early Stage Asia Fund.

Sturdy said that the biggest opportunity for BNY Mellon is to continue to deliver the whole company to clients who will benefit from the full range of sophisticated solutions the bank can provide.

"We are making significant, well-considered investments to bring our full range of services to Asia which we believe will propel the future growth of our clients’ businesses and the growth of our global company," Sturdy said.
