James (Jim) Flanagan, a former Vice Chairman and Chief Operating
Officer of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), as an independent member
of its Board of Directors, with his appointment taking effect
immediately, the bank announced.


Flanagan spent nearly four decades at PwC, holding senior

operations. As the firm's U.S. Chief Operating Officer and Vice
Chairman from 2014 to 2021, he oversaw key operational functions,
including finance, technology, human resources, risk and regulatory

Citi Chair and CEO Jane Fraser said Flanagan's experience in
risk management, operations, technology and accounting would bring
valuable expertise to the board as the financial industry faces
increasingly interconnected challenges and opportunities.


"Throughout his career, Jim has helped organizations navigate
change, strengthen performance and create long-term value, with a
deep appreciation for the importance of putting clients at the
center of every decision," Fraser said. "We are delighted to
welcome him to Citi."


Before becoming PwC's COO and Vice Chairman, Flanagan led the
firm's U.S. Financial Services practice, a $4 billion business
serving banking, insurance and asset management clients across
audit, consulting and tax services. He also headed PwC's
Transaction Services practice, developing offerings in transaction
due diligence, initial public offering readiness, valuation and
capital markets.







Flanagan currently serves on the boards of Integer Holdings
Corporation, a medical device development and manufacturing company
listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and Cyabra, an AI-powered
analytics company listed on Nasdaq. At Integer Holdings, he serves
on the Audit and Technology Strategy Committees. At Cyabra, he
chairs the Audit Committee and sits on the Compensation and
Nominating and Governance Committees.


He was previously a board member and Audit Committee Chair at
Belami Ecommerce from 2022 to 2025.


Flanagan holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Long
Island University and is a Certified Public Accountant. His
charitable work includes founding Hockey Helps, Inc. and serving as
chairman of the board of Ronald McDonald House, where he recently
completed his term.
