In his new role, Ferguson will work with all of the securities services business units to build product and service offerings and to deliver a more unified and seamless client experience. He will be located in the New York City U.S. Bank office.
Most recently, Ferguson was the executive director and global head of alternative investment services for J.P.

“As a senior financial services executive with extensive knowledge of trading operations, asset servicing, middle office, fund accounting, and risk and controls, James is a fantastic addition to the U.S. Bank team,” said Bryan Calder, head of U.S. Bank securities services. “His global management experience will both help continue to build our business and further enhance our services to clients.”
