NEW YORK, June 16, 2014 — BNY Mellon announced that its dedicated managed accounts provider, HedgeMark, has added three new senior executive positions. Bill Santos, global head of business development; Maxine Alexis, head of the legal consulting group; and Neil Novembre, head of fund accounting, have all joined the firm.

Santos will be responsible for global business development, marketing, and relationship management. Alexis will oversee all legal matters relating to the structuring and operation of HedgeMark’s Dedicated Managed Account (DMA) solution, while Novembre will oversee fund accounting operations for DMA.

In February, BNY Mellon announced an agreement to acquire its remaining ownership interest in HedgeMark. The deal was completed in early May.

“We’ve seen increased demand in the institutional marketplace for our services, and Bill, Maxine and Neil’s specialized expertise will be integral to our growth,” said Andrew Lapkin, CEO of HedgeMark. “They bring considerable experience in the managed account business, and we’re excited about adding such talented industry veterans to our team.”

With more than 25 years’ experience, Santos joins HedgeMark from Kenmar Olympia Group where he was senior managing director and head of institutional business development for the Americas and Japan. Alexis has over 15 years’ experience and joins from Deutsche Bank where she was a senior legal counsel and most recently served as global co-head of DB’s alternatives legal practice group. Novembre, with 17 years in the industry, served as chief financial officer of DB Advisors Hedge Fund Group, responsible for their fiduciary business of domestic and offshore funds and managed accounts.
