Debbie Grosser has left Salomon Smith Barney, where she was a director and corporate bond analyst covering the utility sector. A person familiar with the firm's plans says it has not yet decided what to do about a possible replacement. Calls to Robert Waldman, head of corporate bond research, were referred to Mary Ellen Hillery, a firm spokeswoman, who confirmed that Grosser has left but declined further comment.
Grosser had worked at Salomon since 1997, prior to which she spent time at Lehman Brothers as both a fixed-income and equity analyst. She has also worked at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. Grosser recently indicated to a person at another firm that she was not happy at Salomon Smith Barney, but did not go into detail. She could not be reached.
