With more than 25 years of financial services experience in technology and operations, Fernandes will partner with business leaders across product, technology, operations, as well as the Chief Commercial Office to drive the overall execution of State Street digital asset strategy.

“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.”
