Laurent Ichard, director and head of equity derivative sales to hedge funds in London, has left Barclays Capital. Ichard, who joined the firm just under a year ago from JPMorgan, was on gardening leave and could not immediately be reached and it could not be determined if he has taken another role elsewhere. He reported to Andrew Stonely, who declined comment.
Several officials close to Ichard tipped him for a move to Lehman Brothers, which hired a group of his former JPMorgan colleagues last year (DW, 2/18/05). Axel Kilian, head of European derivative sales, declined comment.
