We hear that Citigroup is poised to name Don Callahan, another newcomer to Citi, as its chief operating administrative officer sometime this morning. The longtime Morgan Stanley marketing executive and a former IBM executive is said to be one of Vikram Pandit's closest advisers. Callahan joined Citi this fall, and has been operating chief of its investment bank and alternative investment group. Citigroup could not be reached for comment this morning.

wow. you actually contacted citigroup for comments?

We always contact folks for comments on this stuff. Of course, they seldom will comment and often cannot due to legal restrictions. Damn you, Reg FD. Anyway, we love asking for comments because it's fun to pose awkward questions to flak-catchers who have to listen to them.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to Dirty Harry. I guess I'm like everyone else here... assuming the content of the entire post only by reading its title.
