Citi Hires Goldman Sachs Veteran for New FX Exotics Trading Role

Citi has appointed Andrei Kazantsev as its new global head of FX exotics trading, based in London. In his role, Kazantsev will initially focus on Citi's correlation and G10 structured products business lines.

Kazantsev joins Citi after spending over 15 years at Goldman Sachs, where he held various positions, including global head of GS crypto derivatives trading for five years.

Before his role as global head of FX flow exotics and structured products, Kazantsev gained experience in fixed income at Credit Suisse. His appointment comes after Citi hired two new directors to its EMEA futures execution team in July 2026.
