Global Head of Communications

A decade-long veteran of Citi, Jennifer Lowney joined the financial services giant in 2014, and served as head of corporate communications until 2020, at which point she became head of business and corporate communications, before ascending to her current global role in 2022.

She replaces longtime public affairs executive Ed Skyler—whose responsibilities now include enterprise services such as aviation, colleague and client services and Citi’s real estate portfolio—on this list, and oversees the bank's reputation and messaging across nearly 100 countries, guiding a team of 300 professionals. In addition to executive positioning work for CEO Jane Fraser, her priorities include significant organization change at the 200-year-old bank.

Her past experience on the agency side with Brunswick Group and Hill & Knowlton has included IPOs for Visa, Facebook, Hilton Worldwide and King.com (makers of Candy Crush), as well as handling comms around the reorganizations or bankruptcies of firms including Hawker Beechcraft, MGM Studios, Owens Corning, MCI/WorldCom and Enron.
