Barclays Capital has hired Philip Metcalf, former head of derivatives marketing and structuring at Abbey National Financial Products in Hong Kong, as a director in the strategic solutions group in Tokyo. Jonathan Williams, spokesman in Tokyo, said Metcalf joined in a new role to cover the Japanese market.
Metcalf reports to Wayne Breeze, head of strategic solution sales in Hong Kong. Both Breeze and Metcalf referred queries to Williams. Abbey National closed down its Hong Kong operation in September.
