The global head of cross asset market structure at Barclays Investment Bank has left the firm, following a round of cuts made by the bank across its markets, investment and research divisions.
Matt Coupe has been director of market structure at Barclays for nine years, prior to which he was director of regulation and market structure at NICE Actimize.
He is the EMEA co-chair of the FIX Trading Committee, and a member of the Global Market Structure Sub-committee for the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The departure comes as Barclays embarks upon a reshuffle of its investment bank, with hundreds of jobs cut as part of a cost-cutting program from CEO CS Venkatakrishnan.
Barclays declined to comment on the move. However, it provided a statement which said:
“We regularly review our talent pool to ensure that we can invest in talent and deliver for clients. This is difficult, but necessary, to ensure we position ourselves for long-term success as we execute against our strategy.”
