In a move designed to fill a hole in its asset-backed securities team, Barclays Capital is rehiring an alum.
Martin Attea will be a senior originator of consumer securitization transactions in its securitized products origination group.
Around 11 securitized team members from the Barclays PLC unit defected Feb. 28 to Credit Suisse Group.
Jay Kim, who was co-head of the securitized-products origination for the Americas, is to run Credit Suisse's asset-backed securities business.
He will succeed a former boss, Michael Wade, who had left Barclays to join Credit Suisse last spring.
Kim and Cory Wishengrad were co-heads of securitized products origination at Barclays since Wade left.
Wishengrad, who focuses on esoteric asset-backed deals, is still at Barclays.
Esoteric assets include revenue from billboard rentals, leases of cell phone towers and franchise fees from fast-food restaurants.
Tom Hamilton is head of securitized products trading at Barclays and Brian Wiele continues to run the asset-backed syndicate business.
Wiele joined Barclays last July as managing director and head of U.S. securitization syndicate when Wade left.
Attea, who starts in May, is currently an executive director in global structured solutions at Morgan Stanley, which he joined in 2009.
He was at Barclays in 2008, having been part of the team acquired from Lehman Brothers, where he had been since 2003.
"Marty's return to our securitized products origination team underscores our market-leading franchise across securitized products," said Jim Glascott, head of global debt capital markets.
