Citi has appointed Kanika Thakur as Asia Pacific trade head, based in Hong Kong.
In her new role, Thakur will report to Rajesh Mehta, head of Asia Pacific treasury and trade
solutions and Ebru Pakcan, global head of trade.
She succeeds Vishal Kapoor who was named head of treasury and trade solutions for Citi Hong Kong earlier this year.
Thakur will be responsible for the continued growth of Citi’s trade business, with a focus on delivering trade financing solutions that offer working capital benefits to clients.
Thakur has worked at Citi since 2001 where she served as a management associate in India and has worked in Singapore and Hong Kong.
Prior to her new role, Thakur was Asia Pacific head of trade finance.
Mehta commented: “Asia Pacific is a critical region for growth for Citi’s treasury and trade solutions business. With her strong leadership skills, wealth of experience and in-depth understanding of both the business and how clients’ needs are evolving, I am confident that Kanika Thakur will take our trade business in the region to the next level.”
“In addition to maintaining our market leadership, she will also be responsible for charting the course of our future business model in a rapidly changing environment,” Mehta added.
