Why Citi

My career journey:

I have spent my entire career in finance at various investment banks. Outside of work, I’m a mother of two young girls (four and six years old) and a wife to my Irish husband.

My role:

My team is a subdivision of Equities and Securities services, which services both the Institutional and Retail clients of the firm. We’re a large sales revenue generator for ESS and Markets.

How I got started:

I began my career in Investment Banking in Seoul. The team needed someone with my language skills to support expansion needs of the corporate equity derivative business.

A day in the life:

In my role, I interact with clients and manage the team/sales strategy. The most interesting part of my job is interacting with clients. I increasingly feel it is my responsibility to pay it forward and guide other employees at Citi to enhance their career paths.

I enjoy client interaction and being able to service their needs by providing a bespoke solution.

Skills check:

Commercial prioritization, focus and drive, tenacity and team work.

Advice for others:

Where Citi can take you:

Why Citi?

The globality of Citi allows for regional mobility and the leadership cultivate a culture of collaboration rather than internal competition. I also feel that they care about employee well-being and provide opportunities for learning new businesses and skills.

Network and affinity involvement:

My passion for advocating equity and advancement of opportunities for a diverse workforce, has lead me to be active in the women’s network. Previously, I was the co-chair of the Hong Kong Diversity Counsel. I enjoy being an ardent participant of internal and external events.
