BNY Mellon has made two key senior managing director hires into its fixed income and equity sales and trading businesses.
Bianca Gould has been appointed head of fixed income and equities EMEA, based in London.
Gould joins BNY Mellon after three years at RBC Capital Markets where she previously served as co-head of equities electronic sales and trading.
Earlier in her career, Gould served at Redburn Partners as head of algorithmic solutions as well as holding an equities cash sales trading role.
Elsewhere, Kathleen Kinsella has joined BNY Mellon as head of US fixed income sales, based in New York.
Kinsella most recently served as head of US and Latin America fixed income sales at CIBC.
Separate to these appointments, BNY Mellon has unveiled the launch of a new digital direct-to-custody trading solution for clients’ investment and cash management needs.
Named NEXEN Markets, the digital platform is designed to enable clients to place equity, ETF and US Treasury orders directly from their custody accounts.
“These strategic hires in tandem with our innovative product launches are just a couple of examples of how we are continuing to invest in our fixed income and equities Franchise, empowering our culture and enabling us to be more for our clients,” said Rob Lynch, global head of fixed income and equities.
