Harrison has been with Barclays for over 20 years across multiple roles and geographic. He first relocated to Singapore in 2015 to lead and expand the bank’s corporate banking business after leading international debt finance in Dubai.
Bagary is also a seasoned 15-year Barclays banker and, according to the bank, made contributions beyond just the bottom line.
«After spending a number of years in the region, Bal has expressed his desire to return to the U.K.,» Khanna said. «Not only has Bal made significant contributions to our businesses in the region, he has made a strong impact to the people and culture of Barclays and will be missed by all.»
