Barclays has named a new leadership team for its capital markets unit.

The bank announced last week that Joe McGrath will be the new global head of banking, and that John Miller will become the head of global industry coverage banking. Jean-Francois “JF” Astier was named head of the global capital markets business.

In a memo to staff Tuesday, JF Astier announced a new management team for the unit he now runs.

“The Capital Markets franchise is incredibly strong, and we have the opportunity to further strengthen our business by growing our client base, increasing our appetite for responsible risk-taking and growing our share of wallet,” Astier said in the memo. “With our new global Banking structure and our pool of talent, I am confident that we can continue to deliver best in class advice and execution for our clients.”

Barclays is a powerhouse in capital markets. It finished 2016 ranked sixth globally by debt capital markets revenue, according to Dealogic, behind the big five US investment banks. It finished seventh in equity capital markets revenues globally. And it finished fourth in global syndicated loan revenues.

It generated $2.1 billion in revenues across the three businesses.
