Wolff was President George W. Bush's top lobbyist from 2005-07, responsible for economic, international and national security issues. She assumes Citi duties of Nick Calio, who also was Bush’s top lobbyist. He exited last year to helm the Air Transport Assn.
Earlier in her career, Wolff held posts on Capitol Hill including deputy staff director to the Senate Republican Policy Committee, counsel to the Senate Steering Committee and counsel to former Wyoming Senator Malcolm Wallop.
Most recently, she was a partner at D.C. law firm Hogan Lovells, which represents Japan and Saudi Arabia.
Citi CEO Vik Pandit praised Wolff as a "superb advocate who acts with integrity and offers sound counsel." She will oversee the big bank’s relationships with governments in more than 100 countries.
