Ray McGuire, one of Citigroup Inc.’s top investment bankers, is leaving the firm as he takes the first steps toward a run for mayor of New York.
McGuire on Thursday will open an account with the city’s Campaign Finance Board, said Lupe Todd-Medina, a spokeswoman for his campaign. That step will give him the ability to raise funds from donors and hire more staff as he seeks the Democratic nomination, Todd-Medina said. Former Infor Chief Executive Officer Charles Phillips is helping run the campaign.
