Credit Suisse’s Zhou said to quit to join Barclays

Nina Zhou, a director of Credit Suisse Group AG’s financial institutions group in the Asia- Pacific region, left after 11 years with the firm, said two people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Zhou, who started at Credit Suisse in New York in 1998, plans to join Barclays Plc, one of the people said, asking not to be identified because the departure has not been made public. Timothy Cuffe, a Hong Kong spokesman at Barclays Capital, the investment banking unit of Barclays, declined to comment.
