DCM Veteran Leaves BarCap

LatAm DCM veteran Carlos Aspillaga has left Barclays Capital for pastures new after an over 10-year stint at the British bank and is heard to be joining JPMorgan. The bank has seen a series of departures of late but also a string of new hires. Head of LatAm investment banking Carlos Mauleon left earlier this year, while Nicolas Bendersky did the same only to join Citi as a director in its LatAm DCM team. Still Barclays has also made some key hires in this area, most notably Karan Madan who was poached from Deutsche Bank to take up a new role as LatAm regional head and head of fixed income, currencies and commodities (FICC) trading. Madan is expected to start this week. Barclays also hired Fadi Attia from HSBC to coordinate its emerging-market debt syndicate desk in New York. Gustavo Ferraro remains in his role as head of LatAm DCM and is heard to be seeking a replacement for Aspillaga.
