Additionally, Citi also added John-Paul Tomassetti to the team as
a director, reporting to Gross.
In his role, Gross will partner with the Citi’s private bankers
and investment counsellors, as well as product teams within the
firm’s institutional clients group, to “initiate and close
idea-driven market business for sophisticated markets-oriented
clients.” Gross will also work with Citi Private Bank's managed
investments team, the chief investment office and Citi

Gross previously spent around 20 years at JP Morgan, most
recently as managing director and head of US prospecting and
marketing for the global investment opportunities group, of which
he was a founder while working as an equity syndicate
specialist.
He also held roles as the GIO group’s head of US investors and as
a senior investor for the Northeast region. He started his career
at JP Morgan as an associate in the investment bank and later as
a credit specialist within the capital advisory unit.
Tomassetti, meanwhile, joins from Barclays Wealth Americas (now
Barclays Wealth & Investment Management) in New York, where he
was a director and investment representative. In that role, he
was involved with devising and implementing business development
strategies.
Before joining Barclays in 2010, Tomassetti worked for six years
at JP Morgan Private Bank as an investment advisor in the GIO
group. Previously, he worked at Miller Tabak Roberts in high
yield and emerging markets sales, having also spent time on the
high-grade corporate bond desk at Solomon Smith Barney.
