“Citi banks over one third of the region’s billionaires and a priority is to ensure they are using Citi’s products across our Institutional platform, like our corporate and investment bank clients. Kevin’s background and experience make him ideally placed to lead this important growth area for Citi’s corporate and investment bank in Asia-Pacific,” Slaughter said.
