Hedge fund Brevan Howard is currently hiring portfolio managers, as well as technology professionals who have managed major functions for banks, as it looks to build out its business under chief executive Aron Landy, according to a report by eFinancialNews.

Recent recruits at the global macro fund include Gabriel Pepe, who joined from UBS in April and is now the fund's global head of technology solutions for operations and business risk, based in London. Pepe previously spent 19 years at HSBC.

Brevan Howard also hired Kevin Gage last month, the former CIO of Mizuho in London, as its chief technology officer (CTO) based in London. Gage previously spent nine years at Mizuho and fourteen years at Nomura, where he held the position head of fixed income IT.
