Citi Retail Services (Citi Bank)

As a Director of user experience for Citi Retail Services (CRS), I lead the UX strategy and execution for a portfolio of credit card and digital lending products serving 30+ major retail partners, including Home Depot, Best Buy, Costco, and American Airlines. Our work bridges the gap for retailers seeking to offer financing without building their own infrastructure, delivering custom-branded credit card solutions that drive sales, customer retention, and brand loyalty. By crafting bespoke digital and in-store credit experiences, we deepen client relationships and enable measurable business growth.
