Swink joins from SunTrust Private Wealth Management, where he
served as vice president and advisor to high net worth clients. Prior to that,
he was a relationship manager with Wachovia Wealth Management and has worked as
an advisor at Dean Witter and JP Morgan Investments.

Last week, BNY Mellon Wealth Management made two senior
business development hires in Westport, CT, and the southern Connecticut
market, and Pittsburgh, PA.
