Moody's hires pair from Wachovia

Natasha Chen and Erik Kolchinsky have joined the CDO group at  Moody's Investors Service. Chen will be a vice president-senior analyst, responsible for new products and Kolchinsky will oversee CDOEdge, as vice president-senior credit officer. Both will report to group Managing Director Gus Harris. Chen left Moody's last September to join Wachovia Securities, but resigned following the departure of Managing Director Arturo Cifuentes (see ASR 5/9/05). At Moody's, Chen will assume the vacancy left by Jonathan Polanski, who is now managing director of the ABCP group.
