Barclays PLC names Pat McCormack, head of the private bank at its European hub in Dublin, as the group s Ireland country lead. He succeeds Paul Gillen, who recently left the company. The role is set to take on greater significance in the Irish operation as Barclays proceeds with a plan to move its EU headquarters from Dublin to Paris next year.
Pat s journey with Barclays began over 30 years ago when he joined as a graduate and has seen him work in various roles across the corporate, investment and private banks in London and Dublin, Barclays said in a post on LinkedIn. He established the private banking presence in Dublin in 2008 and his tenure highlights a deep connection to the business, clients and the market. He will report to Francesco Ceccato, chief executive of Barclays Europe, who is expected to relocate to Paris as the French capital becomes the unit s new base.
