State Street has appointed Vanessa Fernandes to head its Digital Asset Solutions team. She spent the last two years at BNY Mellon, but most of her career at the Itau Unibanco group, latterly as CEO of Itau Digital Assets in the United States.

While at Itau, she was responsible for several digital assets innovations over a short period. She will report to Donna Milrod, State Street’s chief product officer, who previously oversaw digital assets.

“We continue to focus on developing, leading, and executing on our digital strategy, which, over time, will impact nearly every facet of our company and transform our industry,” said Milrod. “To help us achieve our aspirations, I am pleased to welcome Vanessa to the team and look forward to seeing her build on the foundation we have established with her expertise with digital products, technology and operations.”
