Citi’s head of EMEA investments, Laurence Stoppelman, said, “It gives me great pleasure to welcome Michael, Sandrine and Maria to our investments team in EMEA. We have a clear focus on continued growth across the region, and the combined experience that all three bring to the team will be instrumental in achieving this growth throughout 2019.”

Defarge joins Citi from 11 years at UBS Wealth Management, having started his career at Société Générale Private Banking, and will be based in London.

Chaker was most recently a senior investment advisor at Barclays Wealth Management in Geneva, focusing on advising Middle Eastern clients, having previously spent a decade at HSBC Private Banking in Geneva, London and Dubai. At Citi she will return to Dubai, covering the UAE market.

Olmos previously worked in Citi’s corporate and investment bank as a business strategy analyst in London. Her new role will keep her in the capital as a team investment counsellor for the emerging market team.
