Who is Ryan Beaupré, and what is his new role at Citi?

Ryan Beaupré is a managing director who has joined Citigroup's consumer and retail investment banking group, where he will drive coverage across the food and drug retail, convenience, and food distribution sectors. He most recently served as a managing director at UBS covering consumer and retail verticals since 2023 and previously spent nearly a decade at Credit Suisse. He will join Citi's New York office in September and report to Stacia Ryan, Citi's head of consumer and retail.

What strategic message does Citi convey through Beaupré's hiring—and how does it fit into broader recent moves?

Citi's hiring of Ryan Beaupré underscores its commitment to strengthening its consumer and retail franchise and expanding its retail footprint, leveraging his deep client relationships, sector expertise, and proven track record in advisory and capital markets. This move is part of a broader strategic push, as evidenced by Citi also hiring Andrew Conway this week as global chair of consumer and retail investment banking—and further validated by Citi advising McCormick on its $65 billion acquisition of Unilever's food business, the biggest consumer deal of the year so far.
