Career Chronicle Citi has hired Rohan Sen from Bank of America to lead coverage of the technology services sector, as the bank continues to bulk up its tech- nology banking ranks, an internal memo seen by Reuters showed. In the memo, global co-heads of technology investment banking Pankaj Goel and Mark Keene said technology services is a "highly strategic" focus area globally, and de- scribed Sen's appointment as an im- portant milestone in Citi's efforts to expand its technology banking fran- chise. Sen joins Citi after 11 years at Bank of America, where he served as a managing director in the firm's tech- nology investment banking group in New York. He will be based in New York and report directly to Goel and Keene. "Rohan's appointment is an impor- tant milestone in our ongoing strat- egy to expand our global Technology Banking franchise of which Technol- ogy service is a highly strategic focus area globally," Goel and Keene wrote in the memo. A Citi spokesperson confirmed the contents of the memo. A spokesper- son for Bank of America declined to comment. The hire is the latest in a series of moves by Citi to strengthen its technology investment banking franchise. In July, it hired five man- aging directors for its U.S. technol- ogy investment banking business from rivals Bank of America, JPMor- gan Chase and UBS, including Chris Grosse, Florian Plath, Dhruv Fotadar, Anand Agarwal and Josh Sheets. Citi this year also hired Anand Govind, the former chief financial of- ficer of software company o9 Solu- tions, as a managing director in technology investment banking. The bank's technology investment banking expansion follows the hiring of veteran JPMorgan banker Pankaj Goel as co-head of technology in- vestment banking alongside Keene in 2025, part of a broader effort to build out its investment banking franchise and compete for a larger share of ad- visory work across the technology sector.
