Swiss newspaper article on a bank scandal
Context:
Führende Exponenten der regionalen Genossenschaften attestieren ihm zwar persönliche Integrität. Sie fordern allerdings, er müsse die Erneuerung der Bank dezidierter vorantreiben. Bis jetzt habe er wenige eigene Akzente setzen können. (sal.)
Mit seinem konzilianten Auftritt half er mit, die Grossbank aus der Schlusslinie zu nehmen. XYZ hat an der Universität von Cambridge Mathematik studiert. (sal.)
I have never seen this abbreviation. Can anyone clarify what this means? Should it be included in the translation?
Thank you!

A code showing who wrote that paragraph
The newspaper has three-letter codes for each of its writers. Sal stands for Albert Steck, one of the two interviewers.
Here is the article: you can't read the whole of it without registering, but you can see who wrote it.

Since the piece is written by two journalists, perhaps it's important to show who wrote which bits. Here is the list of codes:

I would definitely leave this out of the translation.

journalist's initials?
journalist's initials? although these would normally be written in cursive I think-
Note from asker:
| Thank you for your effort, Lesley. I was thinking along those same lines, but the evidence is definitely in favor of Phil's answer. |
