U.S. Bank Investment Services launches dedicated custody unit for asset managers

As head of Custody for Asset Managers, Barys will lead the strategy and growth of the business, overseeing a team focused on client experience and end-to-end service delivery across global markets. He will also drive innovation, operational scalability and cross-enterprise integration to support clients' strategic priorities and further expand the bank's custody capabilities.

Barys has been with U.S. Bank for nearly 10 years, leading Global Network Management for Investment Services. Most recently, he served as head of Executive Engagement and Strategic Partnerships within the bank's Wealth, Corporate, Commercial and Institutional Banking Operations group. Prior to U.S. Bank, Barys held roles in custody and global network teams at Northern Trust and Brown Brothers Harriman.

"Creating a custody group dedicated to the products issued by asset managers strengthens our ability to compete in an important growth market," Flanagan said. "Wally's extensive custody expertise, industry relationships and leadership experience make him exceptionally well-positioned to lead this effort and help our clients succeed."

Barys is a member of the Investment Services senior leadership team and is based in New Jersey. He holds a bachelor's degree from the College of the Holy Cross and an MBA from Suffolk University.
