BNY Mellon Taps Niamh De Niese to Head up EMEA Innovation Center
De Niese previously served as head of Visa's European innovation labs in London, Berlin and Tel Aviv.

De Niese's focus will be growing the number of solutions offered on BNY Mellon's Nexen digital platform, driving client engagement and building relationships with the area's fintechs.
Prior to joining the New York-based bank, De Niese led Visa's European innovation labs in London, Berlin and Tel Aviv, focusing on setting innovation strategy and delivering methodology for digital innovation projects at the firm.
The EMEA center is one of six labs BNY Mellon operates around the world. The bank also has innovation centers in Pune and Chennai, India, Jersey City, N.J., Palo Alto, Calif. and Pittsburgh. There are also plans to open innovation centers in Oriskany, N.Y. and Singapore.
"Our network of global innovation centers is a core part of BNY Mellon's NEXEN digital transformation strategy," said Lucille Mayer, global head of innovation and client experience delivery at BNY Mellon, in a statement. "Our EMEA innovation center is ideally located to be a catalyst center for new solutions that we can envision and develop alongside our clients and fintechs. Under Niamh's leadership, we anticipate a stepwise increase in collaborative innovation in financial services."
