BNY Mellon Alternative Investment Services has named Marina Lewin head of global sales and Steve Farlese head of global service delivery.
Both are new positions within the business. Lewin and Farlese will continue to be based in New York City and report to Brian Ruane, BNY Mellon AIS chief executive officer.
“The alternative asset management business is undergoing enormous change, and Marina and Steve have the knowledge and skills to help us both navigate these waters and maintain our strong growth around the world,” says Ruane. “Each has long been a key contributor to our success serving clients’ varied and complex needs – a success that has led to us tripling our assets under administration in just over three years.”
Lewin will oversee new business development and relationship management teams globally across all AIS business areas – hedge funds, private equity, and fund of funds administration and custody. Lewin is a frequent speaker at industry events and serves as media spokesperson for BNY Mellon’s alternatives business. Before joining BNY Mellon in 2000, Lewin held senior roles at JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank in operations management, product management and product development.
Farlese will have responsibility for all aspects of global operations within AIS, including NAV production, investor services, portfolio accounting, and all other operational client deliverables for single manager, fund of funds, and private equity products. He has been with BNY Mellon for 15 years, formerly responsible for managing unit investment trust services and exchange traded funds.
