This file contains a description of a current Citi employee and description of the employee experience through a set of questions and answers. I like to keep active when I’m not in the office. I regularly play basketball, tennis and ski. I started playing golf recently and need to spend some time working on my game. Although it can be difficult to find the time, I also enjoy traveling. The last several years I’ve spent New Year’s skiing in Colorado and Utah. More recently, I went to Peru for a wedding where I traveled throughout the country, including to Machu Picchu (a must see for anyone who visits Peru).

When you combine the human resources available to Citi clients and the reach of Citi's global platform, the result is a company that is unmatched by any competitor in its ability to provide timely service and advice for its clients around the world.
