Dec 14 (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc (C.N) promoted over 100 women to the role of managing director, the highest ever for the bank, according to a memo seen by Reuters. For the bank, which named a total of 331 employees in 26 countries to the role, it is "one of the largest and most diverse cohorts" in its history, the memo said. The news, first reported by Bloomberg on Tuesday, highlights the New York-based company's push to improve the representation of women at top levels and encourage diversity. Citigroup became the first major Wall Street bank to appoint a woman, Jane Fraser, as its chief executive last year. Citigroup said in September it aimed to boost global representation of women in assistant vice president to managing director levels to 43.5% in 2025 from the current 40.6%.

So we’re very comfortable.”Morgan Stanley also scaled back its leveraged exposure in the third quarter. “They actually were quite modest marks, given the environment,” Sharon Yeshaya, Morgan Stanley’s chief financial officer, told analysts.

Citigroup, one of Wall Street's largest banks, is prioritizing consumer-banking technology. CFO Mark Mason told Insider about how Citi is using data to inform new tech opportunities. When Insider spoke with Mason, his team, like others across the bank, was in the middle of reviewing its annual budget. This year, Mason said, he and Fraser discussed how Citi's chief data officer for finance interacts with other data heads across the firm, including those in Citi's institutional and consumer businesses. Data on Citi's retail customers — for example, the bank counts more than 130 million credit-card customers across branded and cobranded offerings — is also important.
