Citi men at the core of ANZ's growth strategy

摘要

Alex thursby's decision around 15 months ago to leave ANZ to become CEO of National Bank of Abu Dhabi appears to have led to another one of those "getting the band back together again" moments. To replace its former head of international and institutional banking, ANZ hired Lloyds Banking Group's CEO of wholesale banking and markets Andrew Geczy, who had joined Lloyds from his own firm Manresa Partners. Prior to founding Manresa, however, Geczy worked for 14 years until 2005 at Citigroup, where he held a number of corporate and institutional banking roles, including global head of structured corporate finance. Citigroup is the key to this tale, as Geczy has just poached Citi veteran and the US bank's head of Asia-Pacific corporate and investment banking Farhan Faruqui to be its CEO of international banking.
