Bellevue, Wash.-based Motricity, which merged with InfoSpace (NSDQ: INSP) early last year, has lost another executive from the InfoSpace ranks, according to an internal memo leaked to mocoNews. Motricity’s COO Jim Smith wrote to employees: “It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing the departure of a solid leader within Motricity, our Senior Vice President of Sales, George Fraser.” He said Fraser is moving back to England to spend more time with his family. The memo also hinted at Motricity’s international plans, saying that Fraser will continue to support Motricity in that role until his departure March 31.

Motricity SVP Brendan Benzing confirmed Fraser’s departure and said they aren’t expecting to fill the job immediately. Instead, the company is creating a flatter structure with the sales team reporting directly to Smith. In January, Motricity appointed Smith to the role of President and COO, replacing former president and COO Steve Elfman, whose departure to Sprint (NYSE: S) spurred a lawsuit between the two companies.
