Sasaki leaves LDC

Daniel Sasaki, head of LDC’s London office, has left the firm just two months after CEO Darryl Eales stepped down.
Co-chief executive Chris Hurley will replace Sasaki as head of LDC's London operations.
Former CEO Eales stepped down from his role in May this year as part of the firm's succession plan, having been with the business for 28 years, including 11 as CEO. Chris Hurley and CIO Martin Draper were named as Eales's replacements. Eales has remained with the firm in an advisory role.
A spokesperson for LDC confirmed that Sasaki's departure was not related to LDC's succession plan.
Sasaki was named MD of LDC's London team in January 2011, having joined the firm in 2008 from technology media corporate finance house Hemisphere Capital. He has previously worked at Credit Suisse First Boston and Softbank.
