Barclays today announced the appointment of Jonathon Traer-Clark
as Head of Americas for its Global Transaction Banking (GTB)
business.
In this role, Jonathon will continue to progress GTB’s growth
strategy, as it increasingly supports treasury teams at UK and
European based businesses with services in the US. The business
provides a range of treasury solutions, transaction banking and
lending services to large corporate, financial services and
institutional clients to help them manage risk, transact and trade,
and finance growth.
Jonathon is an award-winning treasury practitioner with over 30
years of international finance, corporate treasury, sales, and
strategy experience. Prior to joining Barclays, he was Managing
Director, Global Treasury Management, Strategy, Digital and
Innovation for Wells Fargo.
Karen Braithwaite, Barclays Global Head of Transaction Banking,
said: “Our transaction banking business is on a multi-year journey
of growth in the Americas and Jonathon, who brings tremendous
expertise, will be central to that and our continued execution for
clients.
“We increasingly hear from UK and European domiciled clients
that they are looking for innovative payments and cash management
solutions in the US, and Barclays, with significant cross border
expertise, is uniquely positioned to deliver.”
“It is testament to the strength of our growing business
proposition in the Americas that we have been able to attract a
leader of Jonathon's seniority and experience to help lead and
drive our business forward,” said Graham Warner, Barclays Head of
International Corporate Bank Americas (ICBA).
The bank has made several strategic hires over the last year. In
January, Arthur (Chip) Northrop was appointed as Head of Payments
and Cash Management for the Americas.
Prior to joining the bank, Chip was at JP Morgan for over 25
years, most recently as an Executive Director in payments. In this
role, Chip is leading the strategic development of Barclays’ cash
management and payment solutions for clients in the US.
