BNY Mellon, an investment management and investment services company, has appointed James Wiener as chief risk officer, effective Nov. 24, 2014.  He will succeed Brian Rogan, who is retiring at the end of the year.

Wiener will lead the company's global risk and compliance group, overseeing the compliance and credit, operational and market risk functions.  He also will continue to build the company's risk management capabilities, including integrating enterprise risk data, reporting, analytics, modeling and strategy efforts.  

Wiener will report to Gerald Hassell, BNY Mellon's chairman and chief executive officer, and the risk committee of the board of directors.  He will serve on the executive committee, the company's most senior management body, which oversees day-to-day operations.

Wiener joins BNY Mellon from Oliver Wyman Group, where he was senior partner and leader of the North American Public Policy Practice and a member of the firm's management committee.  In that role, he led the firm's consulting focus on capital planning requirements under the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis Review, Dodd Frank derivatives reform, prudential standards for foreign banking organizations, and resolution and recovery planning.
