Laura Siracuse, a former v.p. in leveraged finance capital markets at Citigroup, left the firm this month in order to become a middle school math teacher. Peter Kettle, a v.p. in the same department at the firm, will be assuming Siracuse's responsibilities, according to a person familiar with the situation. Siracuse reported to Mike Mauer, a managing director in leveraged finance capital markets. Siracuse began at Citi in 1987, while Kettle began at Citi in 1997 after working at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, now known as Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein. A Citi spokeswoman confirmed Siracuse's departure, but declined further comment. Siracuse could not be reached.
