BNY CEO Robin Vince on Embracing AI and Navigating Uncertainty

BNY has a storied history. Co-founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1784 to help New York City recover after the Revolutionary War, it is often referred to as America’s oldest bank. But today, Robin Vince, who became CEO in 2022, insists, “A bank isn’t what we are, a bank is something that we have. A bank is something that we use to provide services to our clients.”

Vince joined BNY, which prefers to call itself a financial services company these days, in 2020 and led its global market infrastructure unit before taking the helm.
