Centaurus Capital, a Londonbased hedge fund, has hired Benoit d'Angelin, Lehman Brothers' cohead of European investment banking.

D'Angelin will serve out his notice at Lehman and remain with the firm as an adviser.

Last year, GLG Partners, another Londonbased hedge fund, hired Emmanuel Roman, Goldman Sachs' European head of prime broking.

Centaurus is a partner in Macquarie Bank's hostile bid for the London Stock Exchange, a Lehman client. D'Angelin will not be involved in the bid, according to a person familiar with his future role.
