Title: Citi Board Welcomes Jonathan Moulds to Strengthen Global Leadership and Drive Strategic Transformation
Citigroup Inc. (NYSE: C) has announced a significant enhancement to its Board of Directors with the election of Jonathan Moulds as an independent director, effective immediately as of June 16, 2025. This strategic appointment underscores Citi’s commitment to operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and innovation in the dynamic global financial markets.
Jonathan Moulds brings over 25 years of executive experience across the UK, US, and Asia financial sectors. His distinguished career includes leadership roles at Bank of America and Barclays, where he spearheaded technology, risk, and cost transformation initiatives. His expertise in managing complex global financial operations and regulatory environments is expected to bolster Citi’s strategic direction and governance.
Citi’s Chair, John C. Dugan, emphasized the value of Moulds’ appointment, stating, “Citi will benefit greatly from Jonathan’s widely recognized track record for driving change across large organizations and the strong focus he puts on efficiency, regulatory compliance, and innovation.”
This leadership addition aligns with Citi’s ongoing transformation strategy, which has seen the firm simplify its organizational structure, exit non-core consumer businesses in multiple countries, and focus on high-value institutional and wealth management services. As of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, Citi reported a return on equity (ROE) of 6.08%, a net profit margin of 7.43%, and an operating margin of 9.99%, reflecting steady financial performance amid strategic shifts.
Citi’s recent earnings calls have highlighted robust growth in its banking franchise, particularly in the U.S. personal banking segment, which experienced a 13% revenue increase. The firm has also emphasized innovation in treasury and trade solutions (TTS), processing over $1 billion year-to-date through its CitiDirect platform, enhancing client efficiency and risk management.
The appointment of Jonathan Moulds is expected to further accelerate Citi’s transformation initiatives, including automation of manual controls, consolidation of technology platforms, and enhancement of data architecture. These efforts aim to meet regulatory expectations and deliver a modern, efficient infrastructure that supports sustainable growth and shareholder value.
Looking forward, Citi’s strategic focus on operational excellence, regulatory compliance, and innovation positions it well to navigate economic uncertainties and capitalize on growth opportunities in global financial markets.
