Former Ties Offer the Advantage as Rubin Takes on the Challenge as Citigroup’s Chairman
All eyes are on Robert E Rubin as he takes on the role of Chairman of Citigroup in the midst of some depressing multi-billion dollar write offs (see article by Peter Cohan at BloggingStocks). As former Citigroup CEO/Chairman Chuck Prince takes his leave, Rubin is left with the tough job of leading the company out of this latest series of events. We created an IntellectSpace Knowledge Map of Rubin’s past and present executive and non-corporate leadership roles in the hopes that his experience and connections will offer some necessary advantages in dealing with Citigroup’s crisis (Note: the information contained and presented in Knowledge Maps is public information from the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America.
As this Knowledge Map clearly illustrates, Rubin has ties to a number of very diverse entities. As expected considering his current relationship to Citigroup, Rubin shows leadership experience at other corporate giants that include Goldman Sachs (former Co-Senior Partner and Co-Chairman) and Ford Motor Company (former Director). The Knowledge Map also reveals Rubin’s connections to non-corporate entities such as the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Economic Council. Most notable, however, are Rubin’s government experiences and connections, which are also included in the Knowledge Map. Rubin previously served as the United States Secretary of the Treasury and was Assistant to the President for Economic Policy during the Clinton administration.
Though Rubin is facing a daunting challenge as Citigroup’s new Chairman, his extensive experience with both corporate and government sectors should prove advantageous for the company in the coming months.
