March 6 (Reuters) - Barclays Plc (LSE: BARC.L - news) has named Larry Hamdan as head of mergers and acquisitions for the Americas, the UK investment bank said on Friday.

Hamdan has led the global industrials M&A group since joining Barclays in 2010 and will continue in that role as well.

Hamden, who also spent 20 years at Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS - news) , has worked on notable transactions including US Airways' merger with American Airlines Group Inc, Blackstone Group LP's $5 billion buyout of Gates and Danaher Corp (Xetra: 866197 - news) 's tool joint venture with Cooper Industries Plc.
