Glencore Plc’s Alexander George, who traded U.S. crude oil, is leaving the company after seven years, people familiar with the matter said.

George, who joined Baar, a Swiss company, in 2017 as a market risk manager, became an oil trader two years later, working in the firm’s New York office, according to his LinkedIn profile. He had been living in Houston recently, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
