Barclays Appoints Nikhil Jha to Lead Singapore NRI Private Banking

Jha joins the firm from Bank of Singapore, where he managed international client portfolios, bringing over two decades of private banking expertise to the role. His background includes significant tenures at Deutsche Bank and Kotak Mahindra Bank. In his new capacity, he will report directly to Alex Harrison, Barclays’ Singapore country CEO and head of the local private bank, while also securing a seat on the Singapore management committee.

Internal communications highlight the cross-border nature of the NRI segment, which demands high-level connectivity across Barclays’ global infrastructure. The bank views the expansion of this franchise as a critical component of its broader growth strategy within the Asia-Pacific region.
