According to a Barclays April 12 statement, Thakur’s promotion “simplifies” the bank's origination team structure in Apac, and he has been tasked with deepening discussions with clients by “providing holistic financing solutions”.
Thakur will continue to report to Vanessa Koo, head of investment banking, Apac, and will now also report to Travis Barnes and Tom Johnson, global co-heads of capital markets at the London-headquartered bank.
