She joins from Everstream Analytics where she was CEO. Her previous experience includes a number of senior roles at both financial institutions such as JP Morgan and American Express as well as software firms like SAP Ariba and HealthPay24.
Like other asset servicers, BNY Mellon has looked to monetise the huge amount of data that it holds on its platform, data which the firm estimates is worth nearly US$47 trillion.
“As businesses are focused on the opportunity to better leverage data into commercial insights, our technologies and platforms stand ready to help clients prepare for the future,” said Shah.
