• Collaborate across Product, Technology, Legal, Compliance, Risk, Operations, Markets, Securities Services, and Sales to deliver integrated solutions that meet the needs of institutional clients.
• Represent Citi externally at client meetings, industry forums, and with regulators, custodians, clearing houses, and market infrastructure providers to reinforce Citi's leadership in the digital asset space.
