Citibank appoints new Chief Governance Officer

Citibank has appointed Silas Findley as its new Chief Governance Officer for the institutional clients group (ICG), as the bank attempts to move on from several regulatory enforcement actions, reported The Trade. 

“As the CBNA ICG chief governance officer, Silas will partner with Citibank Senior Officers and ICG management to prioritize and enhance the Bank’s control environment, and provide robust governance and oversight of ICG activities through participation in key CBNA management committees,” said Agrawal in the memo. 

Findley takes on the new role following 13 years with the US bank, most recently serving as global head of new product approval and EMEA head of strategy and business development for global spread products (GSP).

In this role, he was responsible for the oversight and approval of new product greenlights in order to expedite impactful opportunities, managed projects for the business including MiFID II and Brexit, and led GSP’s engagement in EMEA with external trading platforms, market infrastructures, and trade organizations.
