Citi’s Americas head of sales for it’s agency securities lending, collateral management, and separate account cash management businesses, Jeff Bonaldi, has left to pursue a number of entrepreneurial ventures.
Prior to his sales role, Bonaldi was a senior portfolio manager and head of the Americas cash collateral management desk at Citi for six years.
Bonaldi was also on the advisory board of a number of industry conferences and was part of the tri-party repo infrastructure reform task force, which was created by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and tasked to construct a more stringent risk management industry framework following the global financial crisis.
Having served at Citi for more than 12 years, Bonaldi is retiring from finance to dedicate his time to growing his adventure travel company, The Explorer’s Passage (TEP), of which he is founder and CEO.
Bonaldi created TEP to provide travellers with perspective on history's greatest stories through adventure travel experiences across the globe. His focus is on events that have shaped our world, and of people overcoming the impossible for a greater purpose.
In 2018, Bonaldi is also launching the Gladiator Trek Foundation, which aims to assist people afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) heal through the power of adventure in the mountains.
In speaking with Bonaldi, he credits the extraordinary people that he has worked with and learned from at Citi as the primary contributor to his success in his new ventures. He said he has nothing but fond memories of his time working in the financial industry.
