Jon Little wins Global Investor Executive of the Year LONDON, July
20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jon Little, vice chairman of BNY
Mellon Asset Management, picked up the coveted award for Executive
of the Year at the Global Investor Annual Awards 2009 held in
London last week. The Global Investor Awards recognizes
personalities and firms from within the global asset management
industry whose performance, influence, innovation and commitment to
the industry is seen to stand them out from the crowd. The Global
Investor Executive of the Year category is awarded to the Chief
Executive (or equivalent rank executive) who has made a notable
contribution to both his own company's profile and standing in the
market, and who has also contributed to the better knowledge,
functioning and understanding of the market as a whole. Responsible
for BNY Mellon Asset Management activities outside of the US,
Little's achievements were highly commended by a panel of
consultants. In addition to positioning BNY Mellon as one of the
industry's leading asset managers, Little was recognised for his
calm and incisive presence in the industry, via various trade and
commercial projects, and for having a growing reputation as a plain
speaking but strategic thinker. The view of the Global Investor
Awards consultants is that many in the industry, notably in Europe,
Asia and the Middle East, look to BNY Mellon Asset Management as a
model to emulate. Commenting on the awards, Ronald P. O'Hanley,
president and chief executive officer of BNY Mellon Asset
Management, said: "We are delighted that Jon has won this
illustrious award as it is clearly recognition of his respected and
influential position within the industry. Jon has been instrumental
in helping steer our business through a very difficult market
environment over the last year. Pitted against some strong
competition, Jon thoroughly deserves this recognition and we are
very proud of his achievement." Notes to Editors: BNY Mellon Asset
