The Committee is chaired by John Corbisero, Executive Director, Head of Traditional & Alternative Investment Operations at Morgan Stanley and Peter Tenggren, Director, Strategic Product Management, Asset Servicing Capabilities at The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. Currently, 17 firms are represented on the new committee, including leading asset managers and platform providers.1

Finding innovative ways to drive change in this evolving part of our business is critical,” said Scott Brady, who leads U.S. Product Development and Strategy at Columbia Threadneedle Investments and chairs the NICSA Product & Distribution Committee.
