In this new position, Peterson will lead the global groups
responsible for public policy, government relations, regulatory

Managing Director, member of the firm’s Operating Committee and ran
the Global Regulatory Policy and Government Affairs group. In that
capacity, he oversaw the regulatory and political operations of BNY

financial crisis and through the implementation of the Dodd-Frank
Act and the Basel Accord.
