In an industry undergoing a technology revolution, Raymond McGuire stands out as a champion of the human touch. The head of corporate and investment banking (CIB) at Citi traces his career success back to his recruitment into the business more than 30 years ago by legendary Wall Street dealmakers Joe Perella and Bruce Wasserstein, then at First Boston.
“I had the good fortune of learning from and taking notes from the best, and having extraordinary experiences and support throughout the course of my career,” says Mr McGuire, who made his name as a mergers and acquisitions (M&A) banker at the likes of Wasserstein Perella, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley before joining Citi in 2005.
