Niels Kirk, 57, who was chair of the bank’s energy and natural resources group in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, has launched an employment tribunal claim alleging that he was unfairly dismissed and discriminated against due to his age. Kirk left Citi in 2018 after nearly 30 years at the bank. A number of senior Citi executives are named in the claim, which will be heard later this month. The bank said it had been “unable to locate any evidence or documentation supporting Mr. Kirk’s claims” but would investigate them. Citi was also accused of age discrimination in 2016, in a case that was settled before reaching a full public hearing.
