Citigroup, New York, has given responsibility for risk oversight of its real estate and mortgage exposure to Greg Hawkins, a pioneer in the development of fixed-income valuation models. Notable aspects of his career include his start in 1985 on Wall Street as a mortgage researcher at Salomon Brothers, a firm later acquired by Citi, and his later involvement with the Long-Term Capital Management hedge fund as a founding partner in 1993. He is one of four new senior risk managers who will report to Brian Leach, the new chief risk officer. Mr. Leach, the successor to retiring Citi CRO Jorge Bermudez, is the CRO and co-chief operating officer of Citi's Old Lane hedge fund and was one of the six managers involved in the liquidation of LTCM.
