In July 2018, Eric Boughner became chairman of BNY Mellon Pennsylvania, on top of leading relationship management and business development for its Treasury Services business. The New Jersey native got his start in New York, first as an analyst at Bankers Trust, then as an associate at BNP Paribas, where he helped to start an emerging markets fixed-income business in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Boughner then co-founded Plextronics Inc., a developer of customized inks to enhance the performance of organic light emitting diodes, and spent almost six years growing the CMU spinout before departing for BNY Mellon in 2008.
