Citi declined to comment when contacted by The TRADE.
Mahesh is the latest addition to Citi’s execution offering, and in July 2026, the firm appointed Benjamin Benson and Ranald Falconer as directors on the EMEA futures execution team.
Both assume responsibility for global cross-asset futures sales and trading in their new roles, spanning Citi’s global client base.
