A former Citigroup Inc. wealth management executive has launched a lawsuit against the bank, claiming she was sexually harassed by Andy Sieg, one of its most senior leaders, who has already faced criticism over how he treats staff. The claim adds to the pressure on a business that is still trying to rebuild trust inside and outside the firm.
Julia Carreon, who left the bank in 2024, filed her case on Monday in federal court in Manhattan. She says she was subjected to months of sexual harassment by Sieg and accuses Citigroup of running a “weaponized” human resources department. Her filing argues that the systems meant to protect staff were instead used to protect senior figures and silence complaints.
