BNY Mellon has appointed Dan Watkins as Head of BNY Mellon Markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). 

Watkins has significant industry experience, ranging from senior roles at JPMorgan and Jardine Fleming to co-founding investment management fintech, LatentZero.

Watkins, who is based in London, will report to Michelle Neal, with regional accountability to Michael Cole-Fontayn, BNY Mellon’s EMEA Chairman.

In his new role role, Watkins will oversee the growth of BNY Mellon Markets as it responds to increased client demand in the face of ongoing regulatory and market structure changes. 

“Dan will play a central role in further optimizing the Markets solution set to meet the evolving needs of clients," said Michelle Neal, President of BNY Mellon Markets. 

“His diverse experience and deep understanding of the pressures and opportunities facing all market participants will be particularly valuable as we intensify our client focus,” she added.

He succeeds Richard Gill, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

“We would like to thank Richard for his stellar contribution to BNY Mellon over the last 20 years,” said Cole-Fontayn. 

“Under his leadership our EMEA Markets business has garnered a reputation for exceptional client quality and performance,” he said.
