Catherine M. Keating — a longtime executive at JPMorgan Chase who most recently led the nonprofit institutional asset manager Commonfund — has been named CEO of BNY Mellon Wealth Management and a member of BNY Mellon’s executive committee.
Starting July 9, she will fill the shoes of Donald Heberle, who vacated the post in late March, and will report to BNY Mellon Investment Management CEO Mitchell Harris. “Catherine is a seasoned CEO with a strong track record in leading wealth management and asset management organizations,” according to Harris.
Keating was the president and CEO of Commonfund for the past two years. She spent almost 20 years at JPMorgan, where she led Investment Management Americas (2011-2015), U.S. Private Bank (2005-2011), Fiduciary and Wealth Advisory Services-Global (2002-2005) and J.P. Morgan Trust Company of Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic Region (1996-2002).
In addition, she was a member of JPMorgan’s executive committee and the management committee for JPMorgan Chase Bank, co-chair of the Fiduciary Risk Committee, director of the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, and executive sponsor of the firm’s women’s network.
