Background

About David Eldridge

Since a career in pro baseball nor football (American) worked out (yet!), I've dedicated myself for several years to international financial services with Citigroup, mainly focused on the Latin America region, and, since Jan 2019, in a global capacity looking after teams in 42 countries servicing more than 100 around the world. I spent some years in the retail industry as well. Always up for a challenge, I stay updated on geopolitical, macroeconomic, finance, strategy and general business trends, as well as personal education to keep a sharp focus on leading myself and others to find innovative solutions to problems. Since a young age, I was interested and mesmerized by my Dad's various business ventures. Although some did not work out as hoped, I learned from him to always keep pushing to succeed with integrity, and that sentiment has carried me to a double major in college, an international MBA, and nowadays, leading global execution efforts within Citi's Institutional Clients Group Operations team. I've always had an interest in learning about other cultures and languages, and that has certainly aided me personally and professionally. I'm happily married to a great wife, and we have an awesome dog who keeps us busy. I love living in South Florida where I can enjoy the outdoors even in January! I volunteer with the Big Brothers Big Sisters and I'm a very proud mentor of a not-so-young man who started college not long ago! I'm told I'm very personable and have a decent sense of humor, and I'm very thankful for the blessings so far.
