Citi has appointed Tokiya Kishie as its head of markets for Japan, a role in which he has responsibility for driving business growth and leading the markets franchise in the country.

He will report to Paul Smith, the bank’s head of markets for its Japan, Asia North and Australia cluster, and to Robert Nakamura, its country officer and banking head.

Kishie, who has close to 20 years of global banking experience, joined Citi in 2010 and has held various roles in the rates, foreign exchange and x-value adjustment businesses across Tokyo, New York and London. He was most recently the head of fixed income structuring for Japan, based in Tokyo. Before Citi, he worked at Nomura, Lehman Brothers and Tokyo Star Bank.

“Kishie brings extensive industry experience and a deep knowledge of the bank’s global markets business to our clients in Japan, having worked across global financial markets and products,” Smith says. “We have ambitious plans to grow further with our clients in this important market for Citi and his experience will provide valuable support.”
