Zhang crosses to Citi from UBS where he was managing director and head of China investment banking for the firm. Prior to leaving this role in late 2006, Zhang was responsible for building the investment banking business and charting strategy for UBS in China.

Prior to this position, Zhang was head of direct investments at Bank of China Investments.
To Citigroup, he also brings nine years of experience from Morgan Stanley, where he began his career in 1991. At Morgan Stanley, Zhang worked in Hong Kong, China and New York, holding responsibilities of identifying, developing and executing both investment banking and private equity transactions.
