Citi Hires Joanne Allen to Head Human Resources for Australia and New Zealand
Sydney, Australia, Thursday, February 25, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Citigroup today announced the appointment of Joanne Allen as Head of Human Resources for Citi in Australia and New Zealand.
Joanne rejoins the company after two years managing a HR consulting business. Prior to this, she was with Citi for nine years, starting in London as a human resources generalist, then moving to Asia where she worked in a variety of roles including regional HR Head of Global Transaction Services.
"It's with great pleasure that we welcome Joanne back to the company and to a role in Australia," said Stephen Roberts, Country Officer for Citi Australia.
"Joanne brings a wealth of experience at a particularly important time in our growth. She will be instrumental in continuing to hire the best and brightest in the industry and establishing programs that will help men and women build successful careers within the bank."
Joanne has a Bachelor of Science (Psychology and Zoology) and a Master of Arts (Psychology) from the University of Sydney.
Peter Cappie-wood, who currently holds the position, will join Citi's regional Human Resources team, and will continue to be based in Sydney. His new role will focus on leadership development and efforts designed to build the talent pipeline for Citi in Asia Pacific.
Peter has been with Citi for eight years, starting as HR Head in Australia for the Institutional Clients Group (ICG), before moving to Hong Kong as regional head of Organisational Development for ICG, then returning to Australia to head the HR function for the whole franchise.
Terry Endsor, Regional Head of Human Resources, said, "I am particularly pleased to welcome Joanne back to Citi. She has held a number of senior roles in HR in both Europe and Asia and she has excelled in every role that she has taken on".
"I particularly like the way that she balances a demanding professional life with her role as mum to two wonderful little boys and I hope that she will serve as a role model for other professionals who are seeking to do the same. We are lucky to have her back," Mr Endsor said.
