But we don’t stop there: we also build these same bonds among our own teams, too. Here, we’ve created a community where colleagues support one another and different departments help others succeed. And here, we’ve cultivated a culture where employees care about our company values and live them in their work. At Citco, this people-centric philosophy is the core of who we are—and it shines through in everything we do, every day.
