Antoine Lebacq, equity derivatives salesman at Credit Suisse First Boston in London, has left the firm. Rebecca O'Neill, spokeswoman for CSFB, declined comment and Lebacq could not be reached.
Market officials connected Lebacq with a post at Merrill Lynch, but Patrick Meyer, spokesman for Merrill in London, declined comment. The U.S. shop is looking to boost its structured equity business after it recently hired Alvise Munari, responsible for equity and interest rate structuring at Goldman Sachs. Munari is on gardening leave and could not be reached for comment.
