Who’s moving where...

BARCLAYS has hired

former JP Morgan

banker Rob Jeffries to

head its coverage and

advisory business for

chemicals in its

corporate and

investment bank,

based in New York.

Barclays said Jeffries

would join as a vice-

chairman and global

head of chemicals. He

is expected to start in

mid-September.

Jeffries was most

recently head of the

chemicals group at JP

Morgan, which he

joined in August 2009

after nine years at

Citigroup as head of

chemicals. He had

another stint with JP

Morgan before that,

focused on M&A.

MORGAN STANLEY

has hired Sigal Zarmi as

head of transformation,

a new position in its

technology division.

Zarmi joined the bank

from Pricewaterhouse

Coopers, where she was

network global chief

information officer. She

has also served in a

similar capacity at GE

Capital Americas. Zarmi

will report to Rob

Rooney, who was

tapped to oversee the

bank’s technology efforts

in May. Rooney

previously oversaw

technology and served

as the firm’s head of

Europe, Middle East and

Africa.
