Barclays Capital has appointed Nancy Gloor as Managing Director, Global Head of Fixed Income Technology and Chief Information Officer, Americas. Based in New York, Gloor will report to Kevin O’Reilly, Head of IT and Strategic Planning.
Gloor was most recently Managing Director for Goldman Sachs – based in London – fixed income, commodities and currency technology and was also responsible for finance, operations and resources technology in Europe. Gloor’s move, after 17 years at Goldman Sachs, continues the trend of Wall Street leaders leaving established careers at major investment banks in order to capitalize on the rare opportunity offered by Barclays Capital to continue building a North American presence.
“As a young and expanding company, Barclays Capital uniquely offers me the opportunity to create technology solutions that will shape the organization and maintain the forward momentum it’s built in North America,” says Gloor. “Barclays Capital is known as an innovator, and I’m looking forward to applying that standard to grow the company’s global reach, as well as support our advanced internal technology.”
In support of Barclays Capital’s specialized fixed income investment banking, Gloor will be the creative force behind global technology solutions and platforms, with a focus on increasing financial product and global market roll-outs, while leveraging the company’s established position in those areas.
“Nancy’s vision for Barclays Capital’s IT platform compliments the company’s overall drive towards innovation. She offers a distinctive expertise in fixed income technology solutions, as well as the experience of working in both New York and London. Her world view will be key to translating technology beyond Europe and European products,” says Kevin O’Reilly. “Barclays Capital rewards talent and execution. Nancy ranks among the most respected professionals on Wall Street, and raises our profile both in technology and New York.”
“Our traders depend on robust technology. Under Nancy’s direction, our IT platform and trading technology will continue to stay ahead of the curve,” adds Harry Harrison, Head of US Fixed Income Trading.
