Citigroup Brings in Heavyweight for Institutional Client Group

May 23, 2011

Citigroup has brought on Samuel Di Piazza, Jr, former CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers, the major accounting and consulting firm, to help its faltering investment bank rebuild after the financial crisis.  Mr. Di Piazza, who retired from PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2009, will be a Vice Chairman in Citigroup's institutional clients group and a member of the bank's senior strategic advisory group.  He's expected to attract international institutions as Citi clients.

Mr. Di Piazza is the latest in a string of veteran bankers and government figures that Citigroup has hired over the past year, as the 3rd-largest U.S. bank slowly recovers from the financial crisis.  Other prominent hires: 

  • Peter Orszag, U.S. President Obama's former budget director, who joined the bank as a senior adviser late last year.
  • Doug Baird, a top equity capital markets banker from rival Bank of America earlier this month.    [Reuters 5/23/11]
