Proven Technology Leader for Blue Chip Global Companies

NEW YORK, September 8, 2014 — BNY Mellon, a global leader in investment management and investment services, announced today the appointment of John Hinshaw to its Board of Directors.

Hinshaw is currently Executive Vice President of Technology and Operations at HP, responsible for the firm’s global operations including information technology, business process management, sales operations, procurement, business shared services, and real estate functions. He is also a member of the Executive Council at HP.

“John is a top leader in his field, having served in progressively more complex, global technology roles across several different industries,” said BNY Mellon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gerald L. Hassell. “His broad technology and management expertise will be a major asset to the Board and our management team as we continue to develop and deploy innovative, intelligent technology solutions to our clients around the world.”

Hinshaw, 43, is also a board member of the National Academy Foundation, an educational non-profit organization. He received a B.B.A. in Computer Information Systems and Decision Support Sciences from James Madison University in 1992.

Hinshaw is the second new Board member appointed to BNY Mellon’s Board of Directors this year. In April, Jeffrey A. Goldstein was appointed to the Board. Goldstein is a former Under Secretary of the United States Treasury for Domestic Finance and currently an executive at the private equity firm Hellman & Friedman LLC.
