Telerate has lost four sales personnel -- Astrid Degleris, Larry Noel, Michiko Stibagaki and Susan Selby -- and has also seen the departure of Kaori Tsuruki, one of its customer service representatives. A Telerate spokesperson says that three of the four salespeople who left were recruited by "other Wall Street firms." The whereabouts of the departed staffers could not be determined at press time. Selby's departure is something of a surprise given that she only just arrived at Telerate last winter (IMD, Feb. 28). She came from Reuters where she was a key account executive.
