Credit Suisse AG (CS) said Tuesday that it has hired Steve Aldridge, the former chief of foreign exchange for Barclays (BCS).

Mr. Aldridge started last week as head of global currencies and emerging markets electronic sales, a spokesman for the Swiss bank said. He replaces Jonathan Wykes, who left Credit Suisse in April to join Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Mr. Aldridge left Barclays in October where he led the sales and FX distribution team for the U.K., Middle East and Northern Europe.
