José Minaya will assume the role of Global Head of BNY Investments and Wealth on September 3, the firm announced this Tuesday. In his new position, he will report directly to President and CEO Robin Vince. Additionally, he will be a member of the company’s executive committee, succeeding Hanneke Smits, who is retiring after leading the company for several years.
“BNY manages money, moves it, and keeps it safe, and since the global wealth segment continues to grow rapidly, we are uniquely positioned to serve clients throughout the financial lifecycle,” Vince said in the company’s statement.
Minaya joins BNY from Nuveen, where he served as President and Chief Investment Officer, overseeing all global operational and investment activities in equities, fixed income, real estate, private markets, natural resources, alternatives, and responsible investments.
Minaya also has extensive experience at firms such as AIG, Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, and TIAA.
He is a member of the Board of Trustees of Manhattan College and the Advisory Board of the Amos Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, where he earned an MBA.
“I am delighted to join BNY, a historic institution with a legacy of helping clients achieve their ambitions and advancing the future of finance,” Minaya said. “Leading a world-renowned asset and wealth management franchise with deep relationships around the globe is an exciting challenge for me.”
Minaya’s appointment comes at a time when BNY is expanding its presence in the global wealth market.
