Things must be getting lonely in the London office of venture capital firm Accel Partners, as peHUB has learned that partners Kaj-Erik Relander and Simon Levene both resigned within the past several weeks. No word yet on why they left, or if their departures were related. Relander was the more notable of the two, having joined Accel in 2001 after serving as president and CEO of telecom giant Sonera. He later was convicted by a Finnish court of having violated privacy laws while running Sonera -- the court found that Relander had ordered an illegal review of employee phone logs in order to determine who leaked information to the media about an internal company dispute -- but Accel never waivered in its support.
