Barclays announces new senior hires in sustainable impact team

Barclays has announced three new senior hires in the corporate and investment bank.

The new hires will join the bank’s sustainable and impact investment banking (SIB) team which focusses on advising and raising capital for companies who are solving environmental and social issues.

Arnoud Boksteijn is joining as managing director in SIB and will cover food and agricultural technology as well as clients in the broader agriculture sector. He previously worked as managing director and head of global agriculture and the agriculture technology franchise within the industrials group at Credit Suisse.

Cindy Quan is joining in September as director and head of Americas ESG advisory within SIB. She previously worked at Goldman Sachs where she was global head of ESG for Goldman Corporate and Workplace Solutions.

Bogdan Oprea joined Barclays earlier this year as a Director within SIB, based in London, focusing on battery technology, solar equipment, recycling, and agricultural technology solutions. Prior to joining Barclays, Bogdan spent more than 20 years at Citigroup.

“These senior hires reflect our commitment to expanding our world-class team who are focused on delivering expertise to clients as they look to develop new climate tech solutions, as well as supporting corporations as they navigate the transition towards a low-carbon economy,” said Brian Reilly, global co-head of sustainable and impact banking.
