Ryan Voegeli is joining CEO Geoffrey Belsher at the leading non-Canadian bank
Barclays has announced a new head of Investment Banking for Canada as Ryan Voegeli joins the UK-headquartered banking group in Toronto.
He was previously with CIBC Capital Markets as head of Global Diversified Industries Investment Banking where he led a team across offices in Toronto, Montreal, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Chicago, and San Francisco. He was with the Canadian big six bank for 13 years having previously been with Bank of America Merrill Lynch leading the Canadian Telecom, Media & Technology Investment Banking team.
Voegeli’s career has brought him into some landmark transactions such as Shaw Communications $26 billion sale to Rogers Communications, George Weston’s sale of Weston Foods, and Loblaws’ acquisition of Lifemark Health Group.
“Ryan’s extensive industry relationships, combined with his proven leadership capabilities, will be of enormous value to our clients and colleagues,” said Geoffrey Belsher, chairman and country CEO for Canada, who was appointed in October having also joined from CIBC. “With this outstanding addition to our platform, the whole team looks forward to even better serving our clients and making increased inroads into key business areas such as cross-border M&A, equity financing, and high-yield financing.”
Committed to Canada
Barclays is one of the leading non-Canadian banks operating in Canada with teams offering Investment Banking, Global Markets, and Global Research, alongside access to the firm’s global reach.
“We are deeply committed to Canada and the Canadian markets, and we look forward to working together with our clients to further build on our shared successes,” said Taylor Wright, global co-head of Investment Banking. “Under Ryan’s leadership the team will continue to drive best in class outcomes for our clients, both within Canada and for our broader Americas and Global Investment Banking businesses.”
