Barclays is bolstering its sales team, as the firm has added two new members to its FX sales team in London. According to a report from FX Week, the bank added Mark Rossi and Ross Sellwood. Rossi joined from Nomura where he had worked for more than eight years – originally joining the firm in 2010. At the Asian bank, he covered a number of roles including FX hedge fund sales. Sellwood comes from Goldman Sachs, having worked in macro hedge-funds sales for the past nine years.

It looks like Alex Shterenberg, global head of FX algos at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in New York, has left the bank. The sources say he is moving to another, as yet unnamed, sell side institution in a senior FX role. He joined BAML in May 2013 as head of FX e-commerce for the Americas before assuming his latest role.

Citi added a trio of traders to its Delta One trading desk. Andrew Dawkins, former head of Delta One sales in the Americas for BNP Paribas, joined as a managing director working out of New York. The bank also added Claus Hein, former head of synthetic equity distribution for EMEA at Deutsche Bank. Hein started in London last month as a director of Delta One sales. The bank also just poached ex-Goldman Sachs strat Sriram Bharadwaj to work on its forwards desk as a Delta One trader.

In addition, Anthony Perrotta joins Fenics Markets as Head of Americas Product Strategy, Electronic and Hybrid Markets, reporting to David Coombs. Perotta, a thought leader in market structure and electronic trading, most recently served as CEO of TABB Group.
