New EMEA banking heads for Citi

Published: October 13, 2009

Citigroup has appointed James Bardrick and Manuel Falco as co-heads of banking for Europe, the Middle East and Africa to replace veteran dealmaker Tom King.

The banking role includes investment banking, corporate banking and capital markets origination.

Bardrick, who has worked for the bank for 22 years, was most recently co-head of global industrials banking. Falco, with 11 years at the bank, was head of Iberia banking and country head of Spain.

So far this year, Citigroup has hired 300 people for its European capital markets business.

King left the bank in September to pursue other interests, leaving David Wormsley, Citi's head of UK investment banking, to fill the position on an interim basis.
