BNY Mellon has announced that Rohan Singh has been appointed as the company’s new Asia Pacific head of asset servicing, effective 27 June.
He would report to BNY Mellon’s executive vice president and chief executive of asset servicing, Samir Pandiri, succeeding Francis Braeckevelt.
Singh would also join the firm’s Asia Pacific Leadership Council and extended leadership team, headed by BNY Mellon’s Asia Pacific chairman, David Cruikshank.
He would be based in Singapore and be responsible for the execution of growth opportunities for the APAC region servicing business and overseeing the expansion of the firm’s local capabilities in the region.
Prior to this, Singh, who has 27 years of financial services industry experience, led the Southeast Asia and the Australasia region for Northern Trust as well as sales for Asia Pacific.
“Rohan brings nearly three decades of asset servicing experience, working within large organisations across Asian markets and demonstrating a proven track record of increasing the management and relationship skills under his leadership,” Pandiri said.
“His expertise and industry knowledge will be critical as BNY Mellon builds on strategic growth opportunities within alternative investments, exchange traded funds, real estate, private equity and middle office solutions in the region.”
With the merger between Mine Super and TWUSuper in its late stages, the head of the soon-to-be combined fund is the latest to join ASFA’s board.
The fund has announced new additions to its trustee board.
Brighter Super has confirmed an executive search is underway to succeed its long-serving chief financial officer Garnett Hollier.
The research house has hired an experienced product specialist for its Australasian team.
