Tasnim Ghiawadwala has joined Barclays as the new Head of UK Corporate Banking. 

Tasnim joins the bank from Citi, where she spent 21 years most recently as Head of Commercial Bank Europe, Middle East and Africa.  At Citi, she held a range of roles across Investment Banking, Corporate and Commercial Bank, and Regional Management and worked at JP Morgan and Commercial Union prior to Citi.

Announcing the appointment, Head of Corporate Banking, Alistair Currie, said: “Tasnim brings a wealth of transformational growth and banking experience to Barclays and I look forward to working with her as we continue to strengthen our UK Corporate Banking franchise.  In Tasnim, we have the expertise and experience to help us deliver a market-leading relationship service to our clients and I am delighted to welcome her to the team.”

Tasnim will be replacing Gavin Isle, who earlier this year announced his decision to retire from Barclays after 36 years of dedicated service, having developed our industry expertise and whose commitment to clients across the U.K. over many years has been exemplary. We wish him all the best for the future.
