Citi today announced the appointment of Anders Fogh Rasmussen,
the former Secretary General of NATO and former Prime Minister of
Denmark. He joins as a senior advisor in Citi’s European, Middle
East and Africa business, with a primary focus on the Nordic
region.
“Anders brings excellent relationships along with vast
experience and knowledge of geopolitics, at a time when a deep
understanding of the forces shaping our global economy have never
been more critical for our clients”, said Philip Drury, Citi’s head
of banking, capital markets and advisory for EMEA.
Mr. Rasmussen has been at the centre of European and global
politics for over three decades serving as a leading Danish
parliamentarian, Danish Minister of Economic Affairs, Prime
Minister of Denmark, and as Secretary General of NATO.
“Understanding global geopolitics and international affairs is
more important than ever for senior corporate decision makers.
Anders has unique insights and relationships that will be of
tremendous value to us and our clients and we look forward to a
very successful relationship.” said Lars Ingemarsson, co-Head of
Nordic Investment Banking at Citi.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen began his political career in 1978,
becoming the youngest member of Parliament in Denmark at the age of
25. He was promoted to Minister of Economic Affairs in 1990 and
became Prime Minister of Denmark in 2001. He held this position
until 2009 when he was appointed Secretary General of NATO. During
his tenure, he developed a Strategic Concept which sets the
Alliance’s core priorities for the future. Since 2014 he’s the CEO
of geopolitical consultancy Rasmussen Global.
Mr. Rasmussen said: “I’m delighted to be appointed as an advisor
to the world’s most global bank. In recent weeks, we have seen
vividly how global events have a major impact on businesses’
operations. The geopolitical implications of Covid-19 will be
substantial and I look forward to helping Citi and its clients
understand how to navigate them. Citi is demonstrating its
long-term commitment to the Nordics and beyond, and I see my
contribution as helping to bring investment and growth back to our
economies as soon as possible.”
