Chris Albanese, a high-grade corporate bond salesman, recently joined Nomura Securities International in New York. Albanese declined to comment other than to say that he had joined Nomura. It is believed he will report to Josh Edelson, national fixed-income sales manager at Nomura. Edelson referred calls to Susan Atran, a Nomura spokeswoman. She did not return calls by press time. Albanese's last position was in corporate bond sales at Barclays Capital. Walter Derish, head of Barclays U.S. corporate bond sales in New York, did not return calls. Prior to joining Barclays, Albanese worked at Credit Suisse First Boston and PaineWebber.
