Citigroup’s new banking chief Raghavan gets US$41 million in stocks
Raghavan got about 623,838 shares, according to a filing
CITIGROUP, which hired Viswas Raghavan as its new head of banking earlier this year, has granted the executive shares worth about US$41 million at their current value.
Raghavan, 57, who reports directly to chief executive officer Jane Fraser, got about 623,838 shares, according to a filing. Citigroup’s stock closed at US$65.71 apiece on Thursday (Jul 11).
The award is to replace compensation Raghavan gave up when he left JPMorgan Chase to join Citigroup, according to the filing. The award vests in six installments, from January 2026 through 2031. None of the award is eligible for immediate sale.
Fraser poached Raghavan as part of her broader revamp of the US lender. Citi shares have rallied 39% in the past year, mirroring gains at rivals like Bank of America, Wells Fargo and JPMorgan.
