Asita Anche, who has yet to announce her career move on her LinkedIn page, has held a few executive positions such as Managing Director at High Frequency Trading between 2009 and 2010. Including this role, she had worked for this company for six years. Anche has a master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she studied between 2002 and 2004.

In addition to Anche’s hiring, Barclays recently hired Chris Leonard, who is the founder of hedge fund Arcem Capital, as the leader of U.S. interest rate trading.

In further Barclays news, employee Christopher Ashton was recently blacklisted for life by the U.S. Federal Reserve for his part in the chatroom "the Cartel", where bank traders allegedly colluded to manipulate Forex related rates. The fine against him was set at $1.2 million.
