Jason Short rejoins the bank to lead financial sponsor client coverage on the West Coast
Barclays today announces the appointment of Jason Short as a Managing Director in the Financial Sponsors Group (FSG), based in San Francisco and covering West Coast accounts.
Expanding the capabilities with financial sponsor clients is key to the growth of Barclays' Investment Banking business. In his new role, Jason will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with financial sponsor clients based on the West Coast and their portfolio company management teams. Jason's hire is part of Barclays' strategic investment in our sponsors practice and follows the announcement of Isobel van Daesdonk and Scott Willard joining the platform in February.
"Developing stronger relationships with financial sponsor clients is critical to Barclays' future growth strategy," said Taylor Wright, Global Co-Head of Banking. "We are committed to strengthening existing client relationships and building new ones through a holistic coverage model that delivers strategic content together with exceptional execution capabilities."
"Jason brings client relationships and industry experience to our team that will help us better address our clients' needs, expectations, and financial goals," said Jean-Francois Astier, Global Head of FSG. "Working collaboratively across our divisions, he will build and maintain relationships with West Coast clients while developing investment banking solutions that leverage the broadest possible set of Barclays products and services."
Jason rejoins Barclays with a nearly 20-year career in financial services. Most recently, he was a Managing Director on the Financial Sponsors team at Deutsche Bank, where he has been since 2019. Prior to that, Jason was at Barclays on the Leveraged Finance Team in the New York and London offices.
