As an Assistant Vice President at Citi, Monica contributed towards millions in cost savings and guided sensitive transitions including branch optimization, workforce changes, and global reorganizations. These experiences gave her a deep understanding of both financial levers and the people behind them.
Personally, she finds joy in books on human behavior and games like poker and Catan, reflecting her instinct for long-term strategy and complex decision making.
