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

Ghiawadwala 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.” 

Ghiawadwala will be replacing Gavin Isle, who earlier this year announced his decision to retire from Barclays after 36 years of service.
