Along with Sanders departure from Federal Sources, the firm also lost Piper Gioia, who was senior vice
president of Internet services. She also has joined PlanetGov as a senior vice president of marketing.

PlanetGov will be an online community for current and former government professionals. The site will include news, shopping and other services.
