Industry hard-hitter Paul Barlow has left Computacenter just nine months after joining the corporate reseller.

Barlow took up his post as commercial director of Computacenter’s Customer Coverage Unit (CCU) in January nine months after leaving DSGi Business (formerly PC World Business).

Computacenter chief executive Mike Norris confirmed Barlow had left the firm towards the end of September, but declined to divulge any details about the circumstances of his departure.

Norris hinted at last month’s Reseller Leadership Forum that the giant may potentially make some job cuts over the coming year and warned of worsening market conditions in 2009 (channelweb, 24 September).

He also revealed Computacenter had taken a significant uninsured hit from the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

But Norris said it would be wrong to link Barlow’s departure with comments made in the speech.

Barlow, who was formerly managing director of Equanet and has also worked at IBM and Compaq, was unavailable for comment. It is understood he is already looking for his next opportunity in the channel.
