Citi Markets, a leading financial institution, has recently made a strategic appointment by bringing on board Christopher Chan, a seasoned executive with a wealth of experience in the financial industry. Chan, who previously worked at Goldman Sachs, will assume the role of head of markets solutions for financial institutions in Asia South and Asia North, starting in July this year. Operating out of Singapore, Chan will be responsible for overseeing the firm’s efforts in providing hedging, financing, and investment services to institutional clients.
With a remarkable career spanning over 28 years in markets and debt capital markets, Chan has held prominent positions at top-tier financial institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Nomura, and Goldman Sachs. During his tenure at Goldman Sachs, where he spent over a decade, Chan served as the Southeast Asia head for distribution in fixed income, currencies, commodities, and equities.
In his new role at Citi Markets, Chan will work closely with the team to develop tailored solutions for the firm’s financial institution clients. He will focus on enhancing the provision of customised hedging, financing, and investment services across the markets business. Reporting to Cecile Gambardella and Sue Lee, who lead markets sales for different regions, Chan will play a pivotal role in shaping the strategic direction of Citigroup’s markets division.
This strategic move by Citi Markets follows a series of high-profile external hires aimed at strengthening the firm’s presence in the region. Notable recent appointments include Nattaphan Assavavisessivakul, who joined from BNP Paribas as head of markets for Thailand, as well as Anand Goyal and Ng Hooi Wan, both of whom joined from J.P. Morgan. Goyal will oversee FX institutional sales across Asia, while Ng will lead the markets team for Malaysia.
The addition of Christopher Chan to the team underscores Citi Markets’ commitment to delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions to its clients. His extensive experience and expertise will be instrumental in driving the firm’s markets business forward and solidifying its position as a trusted partner for financial institutions in the region.
