Citi has named Sophie Landry as head of markets, Germany and Austria to lead the firm’s markets business across the two countries.
Landry will be based out of Frankfurt in her new role, where she will work with Citi’s markets product partners, as well as across wealth, services, and banking and international.
She will report to Fabio Lisanti, head of markets, Europe, who said in an internal memo seen by The TRADE: “Please join us in welcoming Sophie to Citi and wishing her the best in achieving our goals across our markets organisation.”
She brings more than two decades of investment banking experience to her new role, and joins the firm from European Investment Bank, where she spent more than four years as head of portfolio and asset and liability management.
Previously in her career, she worked at NatWest as head of fixed income origination and solutions, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, as well as managing director for fixed income solutions, Germany and Austria at Credit Suisse.
She has also worked extensively across fixed income at other firms, spanning Nomura, Lehman Brothers, Societe Generale and Dexia Credit Local.
Landry’s appointment follows a succession of hires into Citi’s markets team in recent months. In June, the firm named Nathan Swami as Singapore head of markets, replacing Smith Smithangura retired after more than 15 years with Citi.
Additionally, in the same month Benny Aroeman became Citi’s head of markets for Indonesia, joining from ANZ Indonesia where he had been for six years.
