In her new role, Jessica joins Citi’s spread products syndication team and is responsible for the execution of primary securitisation transactions across RMBS, ABS and CMBS/CRE in Australia and APAC.

Meanwhile, Harris joins from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA), where he led product development for the fixed income division. He also previously worked for UBS and Deutsche Bank in their debt syndicate teams in London.

In his new role, Harris will lead the effort for A$ unsecured bond syndication, pricing, and distribution for both domestic and Kangaroo issuers.
