Citi appoints new head of financing, markets, for Japan, Asia North & Australia, and Asia South
Citi today announced the appointment of Ed Huntsman as head of financing, markets, for Japan, Asia North & Australia and Asia South, effective immediately.
In his new role, Huntsman will move from London to Hong Kong to enhance the performance and strategy of Citi's fixed-income client financing solutions by bringing the full suite of its financing capabilities to Asia-based clients.
Huntsman joined Citi in January 2007 and was most recently the global head of financing for spread products. He will retain these responsibilities going forward. During this time, he significantly grew new and existing business lines across Citi's financing products and launched multiple new financing solutions for clients.
Citi's fixed-income financing business provides a wide range of funding solutions to match the needs of financial institutions, corporates and governments in local and global markets.
Sue Lee, head of markets, Asia South said: Citi has a long-standing presence and extensive client relationships across Asia Pacific, many of whom are instrumental in fueling growth across Asia and the rest of the world. Our clients value the strategic and comprehensive suite of Citi's financing solutions and the unique strength of our global network. I am confident that Ed will continue to deliver the best for our clients, leveraging the full power of Citi to effectively address our clients' strategic objectives."
Paul Smith, head of markets, Japan, Asia North & Australia said: "As liquidity becomes more important to our Asian-based clients for both local and international needs, we need to be able to deliver a set of products across the full liquidity spectrum. With Ed's expertise and track record, he is well placed to develop a financing platform that will support our markets clients' liquidity and collateral needs."
