HONG KONG — Citigroup on Thursday appointed Mark Slaughter, a senior New York banker, as its head of corporate and investment banking for Asia-Pacific, filling a vacancy created last month when Farhan Faruqui left to join the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group.
Mr. Slaughter has been at Citigroup for most of the past decade, most recently as the global chief operating officer for corporate and investment banking. Before that, he spent nearly 20 years at Goldman Sachs in Europe.
Mr. Faruqui left last month after 23 years at Citigroup to become the chief executive of international banking at ANZ, a role he will take up in August.
“Mark’s appointment underlines the importance of Asia to our global corporate and investment banking franchise,” Stephen Bird, Citigroup’s chief executive of the Asia-Pacific region, said in a news release. “We look forward to his leadership as we build further on the strong relationships we have across the region with Asia’s leading companies.”
