Sinha, who will be based in the bank’s New York office, is the latest addition to BNY Mellon’s growing digital team. He will focus on developing partnerships with startups, accelerators, incubators and business partners to drive enterprise innovation and build ecosystems for all BNY Mellon blockchain initiatives.
