NEW YORK and BOSTON, September 1, 2011 — As part of a strategic refocus of its Charitable Gift Services group within its wealth management business, BNY Mellon has hired Sally Rubin to be director of CGS Investments. Rubin is a proven investment strategist with 12 years of experience with an institutional investment management firm.

Reporting to CGS Managing Director George Rio, she will lead the CGS investment team and be responsible for all of the group's relationships.

From 1990 to 1995 she served as a business strategist for Telesis, a business development consultancy. Rubin also serves on a number of the boards for art organizations and other nonprofits.

Rubin joins as BNY Mellon Wealth Management completes a reorganization of its Charitable Gift Services business. With more than 100 clients and about $2.7 billion in client assets, CGS is one of the largest providers in the U.S. of planned giving services to universities, hospitals, community foundations, and other nonprofits.

Rio's leadership role includes day-to-day management of the CGS teams in Boston and Greensboro, N.C.
