NEW YORK, January 15, 2015 — BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services, has appointed Alan Evanish as Product Line Manager for Paper Receivables.  Reporting to Paul Simons, head of Supply Chain Management for BNY Mellon's Treasury Services business, Evanish will be responsible for managing BNY Mellon's delivery of wholesale and retail lockbox services.

Evanish brings more than 20 years of experience in both product and operations management to his new position.  He was extensively involved in the streamlining and consolidation of BNY Mellon's lockbox operations several years ago, and has played a key role in the development and implementation of advanced imaging, OCR and payment information management capabilities.  Before being named to his current position he was senior product manager for Supply Chain Management's Corporate Receivables Product Management group. 

"Alan's extensive background in lockbox services from both a product and operations perspective makes him an excellent addition to our Supply Chain Management leadership team," said Paul Simons.  "Paper-based invoicing and payments still account for a substantial portion of payment activities, especially with business-to-business transactions.  Alan's sure to play an important role in our continued development of solutions that can both better support our clients' treasury operations and also advance us toward our tactical and strategic receivables objectives."

A Certified Treasury Professional, Evanish holds a BA in business management from Robert Morris University.  During his career he has worked in a variety of lockbox-related capacities, and has contributed to development of strategies, systems, services and key business alliances related to BNY Mellon's delivery of lockbox services as part of treasury services solutions for health care, corporate and other key market segments.
