Based in Paris, he will report to Ghislain de Brondeau and Yann Krychowski, co-heads of banking for France, Belgium and Luxembourg, and Pier Luigi Colizzi, head of M&A for Europe.
Up until this month he was a managing director in BNP Paribas's M&A team, according to his LinkedIn profile.
"The last few weeks have been particularly active for Barclays with our involvement on some key M&A deals in Europe," said Colizzi. "The French market is very competitive, but we have a strong local presence and distinctive assets compared to other banks that can make a difference for our clients."
Earlier this year, Barclays lost Heiko Mittelhamm from its European M&A team. He led M&A for Germany and Austria but left to join HSBC.
