The CFO of Computacenter plc has left the company by mutual consent.
Christian Jehle has stepped down from the key role and as an executive director at the independent technology and services provider, which has a market cap of £2.25 billion, with immediate effect.
He will leave the company at the end of the year. A search has begun to find his replacement.
Jehle replaced long-time servant Tony Conophy as CFO when the latter retired in 2023. He will be paid in lieu of notice for the balance of his 12-month notice period.
“Following Christian’s departure and ahead of any future appointment, his responsibilities will be fulfilled by the broader finance team in conjunction with the existing executive management team,” read a company statement to the London Stock Exchange.
Computacenter, a member of the FTSE 250, employs over 20,000 people globally. Its share price dropped more than 5% in the first half-hour of trading this morning following news of Jehle’s departure.
Its share price has now dropped 23% so far this year.
