Being inquisitive will help steer bankers in the most exciting age of mankind: Citi’s Jan Metzger

BEING intellectually curious is an important skill for all bankers around the world, especially in an ever-changing finance industry, Jan Metzger, Citi’s Asia-Pacific head of banking, capital markets and advisory, has said.

Metzger, who spent his education and early career in the tech field, said the world is being changed by tech every day, so having some knowledge of the matter and being able to interact with clients in that area is a useful skill.

“Having a real understanding of businesses and having run operations in the business is tremendously helpful when you talk to clients.”
