Exec in Demand

Bob Kelly has a new job, though it lets him remain at Bank of New York Mellon Corp.

Kelly, who was considered to succeed Ken Lewis as the CEO of Bank of America Corp., was named chairman of the Financial Services Forum. Kelly, Bank of New York Mellon's chairman and CEO, started a two-year term this month, succeeding MetLife Inc. chairman and CEO Rob Henrikson. "I'm honored to serve as the Forum's chairman at this critical time for our industry and the global economy," Kelly said. "As Congress considers much-needed reform of our financial supervisory framework and initiatives to create jobs, our insights into the inner workings of the markets will help ensure meaningful improvements."

The Financial Services Forum is an economic policy organization that joins the CEOs of 18 of the biggest financial services firms with U.S. operations.
