Charles Scharf is returning to Wall Street as the new chief executive of Bank of New York Mellon Corp, placing a retail banking veteran in charge of a firm that safeguards trillions of dollars for big institutions.
Mr Scharf, 52 years old, has replaced Gerald Hassell as CEO. The 65-year-old Mr Hassell will remain chairman at BNY Mellon until
December 31, when he will hand the title to Mr Scharf. Mr Scharf’s challenge will be to jump-start growth and navigate the technological changes sweeping through the financial-services industry. The New York company responded to pressure earlier this decade from shareholders, including activist Trian Fund Management LP, to cut costs during a period of low interest rates. Profits have improved, but revenue growth remains tepid.
Mr Hassell planned to retire once the firm showed progress on a series of goals set in 2014, according to the BNY Mellon CEO and Ed Garden, Trian’s chief investment officer and a BNY Mellon director. Trian didn’t push for a change in leadership, Mr Hassell said in an interview.

Her name will be one of several notable appointees to UKF’s board as it tries to tackle many of the major social, economic and political challenges confronting the British banking sector.
UKF is being chaired by Bob Wigley, a former member of the Court of the Bank of England, and run as CEO by ex-Santander UK and Barclays executive Stephen Jones.
