Barclays has picked two new co-heads for its financial institutions group in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in the unit's second change in leadership in nine months and the third since the UK bank created an integrated FIG team in February 2013.

Peter Mason, who became Emea head of FIG debt capital markets as part of a revamp of Barclays' FIG efforts in October last year, has been named co-head of the bank's overall FIG group in the region alongside Mike Lamb, who joined as a managing director from Deutsche Bank in 2013 and was most recently global co-head of insurance FIG, according to people familiar with the matter.
