As part of the celebration, Citi Asian Heritage Network and Citi Women Network hosted a virtual leadership discussion on empowering future leadership on May 5.

The event brought together senior Citi leaders to share insights from their leadership journeys, highlight success stories and discuss practical strategies to help build a more inclusive and future-ready workplace.

The panel featured Citi’s country officers and banking heads from key Asian markets such as Vietnam, Thailand, and Hong Kong.

The discussion was joined by Mike Burke, head of International Franchise Management, and Samantha Santos, head of Engagement Strategy.

The event underscored Citi’s commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue, belonging and allyship across its global workplace.

It also highlighted the important role of Asian leaders in shaping Citi’s culture, supporting clients and communities, and contributing to growth across some of the world’s fastest-growing markets.

Asia’s strength lies not only in its economic dynamism, but also in the depth of its cultures, the resilience of its people and the diversity of its leadership.

Asian Heritage Month is deemed an opportunity for Citi Vietnam to celebrate these contributions, while also reflecting on how inclusive leadership and strong allyship can help future generations grow with confidence.

Asian Heritage Month at Citi encourages learning, appreciation, and dialogue, helping colleagues better understand the experiences that shape workplace culture at Citi and beyond.

Through initiatives such as Asian Heritage Month, Citi continues to promote a workplace where colleagues feel valued, empowered, and able to thrive.
