- Oversee the impact assessment and client communication for regional market and platform changes, managing client priorities through change rollouts to ensure seamless continuity of service.
- Govern regional client policies and lead the evolution of client engagement practices across the Client Executive and Account Manager community, setting clear standards and accountability frameworks.
- Lead quarterly business reviews and structured governance forums with senior client stakeholders, translating client feedback into actionable internal plans and ensuring follow-through across all committed workstreams.
- Maintain strong governance and controls across all client-facing activities, working alongside Legal, Compliance, Risk, Audit, and Finance to uphold regulatory standards and safeguard Citi's reputation in every client interaction.
