Société Générale has hired Rob Philbin from Barclays Capital as its chief dealer in the US. Philbin, who will be based in New York, will report to Dan O’Sullivan, global co-head of FX trading.

“Rob brings with him a wealth of experience in franchise driven FX, a strong P+L track record, and a solid reputation.” O’Sullivan tells EuromoneyFXNews.

The hire is part of SocGen’s objective to further build upon its core strength in Europe by enhancing the profile and depth of its FX platform in the Americas and globally adds O’Sullivan.
