The roster of former Lehman Brothers bankers at Nomura continues to dwindle with news that John Phizackerley, one of the Japanese firm’s top names in Europe, has left.

Phizackerley, who has been head of Nomura's business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa for the last two years, has left, according to a person familiar with the situation. The move was first reported by the Financial Times, citing a memo, this morning.
