Raymond James has deepened the bench of its public finance division with the hiring of 10 former Citi staffers.
With the appointments from Citi – including six senior bankers who specialize in various geographic and functional areas – the brokerage giant is looking to expanding its services across the US.
As part of the expansion, Raymond James is launching a new public finance office in Seattle and introducing a specialized public power practice, further extending its influence in the Western US and bolstering its nationally recognized housing finance group.
The newly joined team includes a handful of new managing directors:
“Raymond James is a highly regarded player in public finance with a talented team of professionals and a robust platform to serve the unique needs of the California market and beyond,” said Mukai, a three-decade veteran in the public finance space whose experience includes two decades at Citi and 10 years at Merrill Lynch.

Sarah Campbell is joining the firm as an associate in Philadelphia, while Bella Meyn and Neha Chowdhury are coming aboard as analysts in Seattle and New York, respectively.
