Barclays Capital has hired a trio of equity derivative sales officials to expand its Middle East coverage. The hires--all from JPMorgan--are Harry Martin, Francisco Pizarro and Arnaud Hatte. Titles and precise roles of the three could not immediately be determined. The three will report to Des Byrne, responsible for investor solution sales to the Middle East, Africa and European emerging markets in London. Byrne was traveling and could not be reached by press time.
Beat Von Gunten, head of equity derivatives investor marketing, did not respond to messages regarding replacements by press time.
