After 16 years at Citibank, marketeer Mayank Dutt is joining Mastercard as its head of marketing and communications for Southeast Asia, the exec announced on LinkedIn.
He will report to both Safdar Khan, division president, Southeast Asia Emerging Markets and Rustom Dastoor, senior vice president, head of marketing and communications, Asia Pacific, and will work closely with them to accelerate Mastercard’s core business, diversify its customers and build new businesses across Southeast Asia, a spokesperson said.
