Report: Krawcheck to Exit Citi

Sallie Krawcheck is expected to leave her post as the head of Citigroup Inc’s wealth-management unit, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

The WSJ said the departure marks a broader corporate restructuring that will place the wealth-management unit, including Smith Barney, within the institutional clients group. It is unclear where Krawcheck, who started at Citigroup in 2002, will go next.

Michael Corbat, the head of the corporate and commercial bank within Citigroup’s investment-banking division, is expected to replace Krawcheck, according to the news report. Corbat will report to John Havens, head of the institutional client group.
