Mr. Ham is a proven leader who brings 20 years of experience and leadership to Barclays. He joins from Deutsche Bank where he served as Co-CEO Deutsche Numis and Head of Global Private Growth Capital. In growing that franchise, Mr. Ham developed strong connectivity between European founders of high-growth companies and the leading global venture capitalists, private equity, and the public equity markets.

Also commenting on the appointment, Taylor Wright, Global Co-Head of Investment Banking at Barclays, said, “Alex will help us grow mindshare with venture capitalists and growth private equity investors, and deepen engagement with clients. This will further enhance the momentum in these franchises, while also contributing to our strategic objectives of growing market share in ECM and M&A.”

Mr. Ham’s appointment will strengthen Barclays’ leading UK and European franchises across all industries. He starts in early 2026.
