Shriram Bhashyam has stepped down from his position as entrepreneur-in-residence at Citi Ventures, the corporate venturing arm of US-headquartered financial services provider Citi.
Bhashyam departed last month to become senior vice-president of business development at commodities and securities brokerage services provider Forge Global.
Citi Ventures appointed Bhashyam in August 2019 to oversee portfolio incubation and product development as well as elements of its external innovation strategy. He has also left EquityZen, the private share trading platform he co-founded in 2013 as head of business development.
Bhashyam had subsequently been appointed chief strategy officer by EquityZen in April 2018 before moving to an adviser role in March 2019.
Formerly known as Equidate, US-based Forge Global last raised funding in an $85m series B round in January 2019 led by reinsurance firm Munich Re.
