Citi hires BarCap’s Bill Hughes

Citi has hired Barclays Capital’s head of US loan syndicate to work in a similar position. Bill Hughes, who worked at Lehman Brothers in New York until it collapsed and was subsequently bought by Barclays, will join Citi in January as its head of leveraged syndicate for capital markets origination in the Americas, responsible for the loans, junk bonds and emerging markets bond syndicate desks.
