Citi Appoints APAC Tech Vice Chair

Will McLane was named Asia Pacific vice chairman of technology at Citi, according to an internal memo, in addition to his existing role as vice chairman of the global financial institution’s group (FIG).

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, the memo said, adding that he would continue to support FIG clients in Asia.

According to the bank, McLane alongside other seniors in Asia, has applied innovative techniques for pitching such as videos, multimedia, props, and more in the last 18 months.

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, the memo continued.

Scaling these innovative approaches and aligning them with our global relationships will help differentiate Citi, particularly in the current COVID-challenged operating environment.
