Citi appoints APAC Vice Chairman of Technology

Citi has announced the appointment of Will McLane as Vice Chairman of Technology for the Asia Pacific region, stemming from an increased prominence of technology, and the firm’s desire to enhance client coverage.

The naming of McLane as Vice Chairman of Technology, APAC, further expands his existing role as Vice Chairman of the Global Financial Institutions Group (FIG), according to an article by Finews Asia.

An internal Citi memo said: “We have asked [McLane] to assist the APAC technology team in covering clients for unique stations to help scale BCMA’s (banking, capital market advisory) innovative pitching efforts globally.”

“This [role] is a natural extension for [McLane], as he has been instrumental in providing critical thought leadership and creativity in pitching, resulting in several landmark transactions,” continued the memo. “Scaling these innovative approaches and aligning them with our global relationships will help differentiate Citi, particularly in the current COVID-challenged operating environment.”
