Barclays appointed Alishba Ali managing director and UK head of consumer and technology, media and telecoms (TMT) in its international corporate banking business. Alishba will report to Simon Ollerenshaw, global head of corporate treasury coverage at Barclays.

Ali joined Barclays from JPMorgan Chase, where she was managing director and head of EMEA payments for mid-cap corporates. Ali has 20 years of international experience in the banking industry, focused on payments and liquidity solutions. In her most recent role with JPMorgan Chase, Ali helped build out the firm’s commercial banking international expansion strategy. Prior to this, she spent several years in client coverage roles, including large corporate TMT clients.

Before joining JPMorgan Chase, Ali held several roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York City. She started her career in Atlanta with Bank of America in a treasury management leadership program that took her to San Francisco and Mexico City.

“We’re delighted to welcome Alishba to Barclays. We see exciting opportunities in the TMT and consumer sectors with the growth of direct-to-consumer services and platforms which are enabled by the rapid evolution in payments technology,” Philip Bowkley, head of international corporate banking at Barclays, said. “Alishba’s deep sector and product experience will be a huge asset in our delivery of banking solutions to our global clients.”
