BNY Mellon – Global Leadership & Culture Shift
Across the U.S. and Europe, The Tempest Two were brought in to partner with BNY Mellon Asset Management on a series of high-impact leadership experiences, each designed to challenge comfort zones and drive real behavioural change.
US Leadership Summit – Los Angeles
Set in the hills outside LA, we delivered a two-day immersive experience for BNY’s U.S. leadership team. Tasked with uniting heads of function and challenging them to think five years ahead, we worked directly with the CEO and CMO to create an environment of radical honesty and strategic discomfort, driving clarity, alignment, and commitment at the highest level.
European Leadership Experience – London
This one-day session brought together senior leaders from across BNY’s European offices and boutiques. Our focus was sharp: surface the friction points slowing the business down, and assign ownership to those best placed to lead the change. The result was a more accountable and energised leadership cohort.
US Marketing Team – New York
The global CMO approached us with a critical challenge: a long-serving, underperforming marketing team stuck in old habits. Over two intensive days, we worked to inject a fresh mindset, one rooted in adaptability, ambition, and ownership. The transformation in energy, engagement, and direction made this one of our proudest pieces of work to date.
“I hired The Tempest Two at a time when I inherited a new team, who due to constant change and disruption had become an underperforming component of the wider company. They helped me to bring to the surface some of the barriers and challenges that were deep-rooted in the culture of the team and then to build the foundations, habits and values that would enable us to push the re-set button and enable us to function at a higher level from the very next day. These two are different because their attitude is infectious and they look beyond what you have asked them to do and give you something better. Both my team and the senior exec board were inspired by their story because they were relatable – they put the team at ease but also pushed them to think differently” Global CMO
