Citi just made two big hires from Goldman Sachs

Two Goldman Sachs managing directors have left for Citigroup.

Quentin Andre, cohead of equity structuring and marketing for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Goldman Sachs, is joining Citi as head of structured sales.

Dirk Keijer is joining Citi as head of equity derivative sales for Europe, the Middle-East & Africa.

Citi spokesperson Capucine Boncenne confirmed the hires.

Both will report to James Boyle and Conor Davis, EMEA head of investor sales.

Citi has been making a big push in its equities business over the past 12 months.

Murray Roos joined Citi last year from Deutsche Bank in the new role of global head of sales for equities and prime finance. Citi also hired Steve Roti back in August from Nomura and John Lowrey from Chi-X.

A spokesperson for Goldman declined to comment.
