Barclays announces the appointment of Taylor Wright as a
Managing Director and Co-Head of US Equity Capital Markets (ECM).
Mr. Wright will be based in New York, and will report to
Jean-Francois Astier, Global Head of Capital Markets at
Barclays.
Mr. Wright has over 30 years of banking and ECM experience, and
joins Barclays from Morgan Stanley where he was most recently Head
of Financial Institutions and Services ECM. During his more than 24
years at Morgan Stanley, Mr. Wright originated and led more than
$250 billion of equity and equity-linked offerings across multiple
industries and geographies. Mr. Wright has played key roles in the
IPOs of issuers including AXA Equitable Holdings, Bandwidth,
BankUnited, Citizens Financial, Endava, First Republic, Hamilton
Lane, Korea Telecom, Moelis & Company, Tradeweb, UMC, Voya and
Yext, led financing and restructuring transactions for issuers
including AIG, Allied Irish Bank, GE, MetLife, State Street Bank
and US Bancorp, and was an advisor to the US Department of Treasury
during the financial crisis.
Mr. Wright will Co-Head the US ECM business with Kristin
DeClark, who joined Barclays from Deutsche Bank in March as Co-Head
of US ECM and Global Head of Technology ECM. Ms. DeClark will start
at Barclays in June 2019, and will be based in Menlo Park,
California.
“Taylor is another outstanding addition to our US ECM leadership
team, following our recent appointment of Kristin DeClark. His deep
roster of key relationships and many years of experience will
deliver enormous benefits as we position ourselves as the partner
of choice for our growing client base,” said Jean-Francois Astier,
Global Head of Capital Markets. “Taylor’s addition to the team will
further enhance our abilities to provide best in class strategic
advice and execution, and will accelerate the already strong
momentum in our ECM business.”
Barclays is ranked number 5 in US Equity by volume year to date,
and number 6 for global fee share in ECM, according to Dealogic.

of the five largest US IPOs (Uber, Avantor, Pinterest, and Tradeweb
Markets), the two largest IPOs in EMEA (Nexi SpA, and Network
