Ben Melkman's Light Sky Macro, a New York-macro hedge fund, hired Jérôme Saragoussi as director of trading strategy, according to people familiar with the matter.

Saragoussi resigned from Deutsche Bank on Monday, the people said.

Saragoussi started working at Deutsche Bank in 2002. He was most recently director of rates, volatility and relative value at the German bank, according to a LinkedIn page.

Light Sky Macro launched earlier this year, and was founded by Melkman, who previously worked at Brevan Howard Asset Management.
