Citigroup Hires Michael Zezas to Lead Global Research

Zezas will operate from New York, overseeing a franchise that Citigroup views as central to its client-focused strategy. David Livingstone, the bank’s chief client officer, emphasized that the hire signals a continued investment in providing differentiated market insights for clients navigating increasingly complex capital markets.

This appointment follows a series of leadership shuffles within the broader Citigroup organization. In mid-September, the bank bolstered its trade and working capital solutions business with three key hires. While these roles sit outside traditional wealth management, they remain critical for the bank’s ultra-high-net-worth clients who require sophisticated cross-border support for their operating companies.
