Before his tenure at Barclays, Zorzoli held several senior positions at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, including Head of Structuring for EMEA and Head of EMEA Rate Sales, Repo Sales, and Structuring. He began his career at Goldman Sachs, specialising in fixed income structuring, before going on to co-lead the equity exotics trading desk.
Nat Tyce, Head of Global Markets, EMEA and Global Co-Head of Rates, said: “We are confident that Filippo’s deep understanding of the EMEA client landscape combined with his extensive product expertise will help us build on the strong foundations established under Gary Hyman’s leadership and drive the next phase of client franchise growth in EMEA.”
