Two salesmen left Credit Suisse First Boston's mortgage-backed securities group at the end of last month. Steven Wright, formerly a director, and Brian Whelan, who was a v.p., recently left the firm, according to John Gallagher, a CSFB spokesman. He declined further comment.
Wright said he is joining WaMu Capital in a similar role and will report to Todd Kaufman, head of sales. Wright starts next month. Whelan could not be reached. At CSFB, Wright and Whelan reported to Andy Kimura and Mike Marriott, managing directors and co-heads of the MBS desk.
