BNY Mellon has hired a European financial regulation specialist from CME, the large exchange group, and will place him in Frankfurt, which is likely to become an important EU trading hub after Brexit.
London-based Ben Pott is leaving his role as head of government affairs at NEX. CME acquired the owner of bond and foreign exchange trading venues earlier this year.
