Citi has announced the appointment of Raphael Mun to head of Sustainability and Corporate Transitions (SCT) for the bank’s Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory (BCMA) business in Asia Pacific.
The move involves Mun’s relocation to Singapore from London, where she has been practising as a senior banker in Citi’s EMEA Project & Infrastructure Finance team.
In her new role, Mun reports to Jan Metzger, head of APAC BCMA, with additional reporting lines to London-based Keith Tuffley who co-heads Citi’s SCT team alongside New York-based Bridget Fawcett, as well as to Amol Gupte, Citi’s country officer for Singapore. The SCT team formed in May 2020.
A spokesperson for the bank confirmed with FinanceAsia that the news takes immediate effect and that Citi is continuing its recruitment drive across Hong Kong and Singapore to support clients with their ESG and sustainability needs.
A release detailed that the new role will see Mun lead dialogue and engagement with clients while working to maximise strategic business opportunity with the shift towards more sustainable practices.
Metzger commented, “this new position in the region underlines the role Asia Pacific has to play in Citi’s sustainability strategy and delivering best-in-class solutions to our clients across the region. Many are actively seeking solutions by investing in new technologies and innovations, pursuing M&A activity, and raising green capital to fund their sustainability ambitions. I am delighted to welcome Raphael to the region.”
