Citi has announced the establishment of its Infrastructure Financing & Capital Solutions Group (IFCS), aiming to address the rapidly evolving infrastructure finance and capital markets, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. The group will be co-headed by Eric Farina and Rob Cascarino, both bringing extensive experience in infrastructure finance and debt capital markets.
Eric Farina, previously Head of Infrastructure Finance within Private Capital Markets at Morgan Stanley, will be based in New York. He has over two decades of experience in bespoke structuring solutions across various sectors. Rob Cascarino, who joined Citi in 2025, will expand his role from Co-Head of Debt Capital Markets (DCM) for the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Africa to partner with Eric on a global scale. Rob’s experience includes digital infrastructure and sports stadium financings in the US and EMEA.
The IFCS will operate as a product-agnostic group within Citi’s DCM, focusing on structuring, placement, and lending to provide customised solutions to global clients. In Asia Pacific, Citi’s Banking teams will collaborate closely with the global team to support infrastructure financing needs across the region.
Eric and Rob will report to John McAuley and Chris Munro, Heads of Debt Capital Markets, and will work in conjunction with all Capital Markets groups. This initiative underscores Citi’s commitment to leveraging public and private capital markets to deliver innovative solutions to its clients.
