Susan Selby, Reuters' erstwhile senior account executive, downtown district, has given notice. Her responsibilities included "handling a number of very important accounts," says a Reuters spokesperson. A source says she was the leader of the Red Team in Reuters' downtown district. The spokesperson wouldn't confirm or deny any team or hue affiliations Selby may have had while at Reuters, although sources say she was account manager for Barclay's Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Credit Suisse and Swiss Bank Corp., among others. Selby is defecting to Dow Jones Telerate, where she will be responsible for sales of that vendor's foreign exchange transactional service. The switchboard operator at DJT hasn't heard of her as yet.

Tim Anderson has turned up. Anderson, who left his job of Garvin Information Services (GIS) for parts unknown (IMD, Oct. 11, 1993), is due to begin training next week at Capital Management Sciences (CMS). He will report to vice president Jim Kaplan as a developer of fixed-income analytics software. Anderson had headed GIS, which consolidates and sells market data generated by interdealer U.S. Treasury broker Garban Ltd. and its sister brokers. CMS was recently acquired by Data Broadcasting Corp. (see Scrolling News) -- but not until after the parent company of Anderson's former employer -- brokerage holding company MAI PLC -- had itself considered buying CMS, according to sources.

EJV Partners L.P. has appointed Robert Fuhrman to the post of director of research -- a spot formerly occupied by Dexter Senft. Fuhrman jumped ship from Barra Inc., where he was a managing director. Before that, he split from Lehman Brothers Inc., where he labored in the firm's fixed-income index and portfolio strategies business. Lehman is a partner of the EJV. Curiously, Senft left the EJV for Lehman (IMD, Sept. 13, 1993).

Stuart Rubenfeld, an eight-year veteran of Knight- Ridder, quit this week -- for "a quality of life change," he says. Knight-Ridder "was moving one way, and I was moving another," says the ex-director of national accounts. "I'm leaving on my terms," he says. No replacement has yet been named.

Knight-Ridder has promoted its former managing director for Asia, Douglas Weil, to a newly created post as vice president of vertical markets. To replace Weil, the vendor has hired Allen Horstmanshof, formerly of Equinet -- a recent Knight-Ridder acquisition that provides equities data in Australia and New Zealand (IMD, Dec. 6, 1993).
