Rich Roche has left Barclays Capital, where he was an investment-grade trader based in New York, according to people at the firm. Roche was a director and head trader last year, but his title at the time he left could not be determined. Barclays has made some senior trading hires from Deutsche Bank in recent weeks (BW, 8/11, 9/15) including Mark Jicka, who is slated to become head of the desk once he joins the firm. John Stathis, head of fixed-income sales and research for the Americas, declined comment.
