Citi Australia has appointed Mark England as head of Securities Services Australia and New Zealand, following the retirement of long-serving executive Martin Carpenter.
England is currently based in Hong Kong and is Asia Pacific co-head of sales for Citi Securities Services.
He will relocate to Australia upon beginning his new role, while retaining his existing regional responsibilities.
Martin Carpenter has served at Citi Australia for more than 16 years and has led the Securities
Services franchise across Australia and New Zealand for 13 years.
Commenting on England’s appointment, Marc Luet, CEO of Citi Australia and New Zealand, says: “Mark is one of the most senior leaders in the Securities Services business, with more than 20 years’ experience in different roles across New York, Dublin, London, and Hong Kong. With a significant number of additional opportunities ahead of us in Australia, we are delighted to be able to locate a senior regional role out of Sydney as a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to the market.”
Thanking Carpenter for his service, Luet adds: “Martin has overseen a tremendous period of growth and development in our business in Australia. The success of the business is a testament to Martin’s character and hands-on leadership approach.
“Martin has played an integral role in Citi’s business for almost two decades. We thank him for his dedication and commitment to success and wish him well in the next chapter of his life.”
