05 June 2025 Australia

Citi has named John McLean as head of equity capital markets (ECM) and global asset managers (GAM) for Australia and New Zealand.
This marks a change from his current role as head of GAM, Asia Pacific, where McLean is responsible for overseeing a regional team advising alternative asset managers and sovereign wealth fund clients.
He will relocate from Singapore to Sydney for his new role, and brings with him over 20 years of experience in equity capital markets.
On the move, he says: “I am excited to be returning to Australia to lead the ECM and GAM businesses. There is significant opportunity in both private capital markets and ECM across Australia and New Zealand and I look forward to growing the team and delivering for our clients”.
Mark Woodruff, CEO for Citi Australia, adds: “John’s experience in Asia leading the Global Asset Managers business combined with his prior experience leading the ECM business in Australia, makes him the ideal person to lead our growth plans.”
