Langley quits Merrill Lynch to co-head corporate risk at BarCap

Barclays Capital has hired John Langley to join its London office in June as co-head of European corporate risk advisory. Langley is leaving Merrill Lynch, where he has worked for 11 years, most recently as head of the bank’s risk advisory group and co-head of corporate risk management.

Langley will report to John Winter, head of European investment banking and debt capital markets at Barclays Capital.

Winter said the appointment was part of the bank’s strategy to bolster its corporate risk advisory business.
