Richly credentialed Brazilian will manage strategic expansion in rapidly growing region

NEW YORK, October 22, 2010 — BNY Mellon, the global leader in asset management and securities servicing, today announced the appointment of Dino Sani Jr. as managing director and head of treasury services for Latin America.

Sani brings more than 28 years of global trade, international cash management and banking services experience to his new position.  Most recently responsible for the development of a U.S.-focused initiative for Banco do Brasil, Sani previously served as general manager of the New York branch of Banco Itau S.A.
