Oversee client strategy from acquisition through to lifecycle management, ensuring Citi is the partner of choice for the world's leading institutional asset managers and hedge funds. Lead client retention, satisfaction, and wallet share growth at the enterprise level.
• Technology & Digital Transformation: Set and own the technology vision for the Complex Assets business. Partner with Product and global Technology leaderships to define and fund a multi-year digital transformation agenda, encompassing AI, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, and automation — positioning Citi at the frontier of innovation in post-trade services.
