A third high-profile industry executive will step down from his role this month - this time in vendor land.

David Wright, general manager of HP's PSG, will leave the company, CRN has learned.

This follows the news that Nick Gorringe, managing director of VAR BT EngageIT and Graham Jones, managing director of Integralis, were also set to leave their roles.

Wright has worked at HP and before that Compaq since 1989 and most recently spoke to CRN about HP simplifying its channel business further for partners (Channelweb 1 April).

It has not been revealed at this stage where Wright is going, or whether he is staying in the channel.

In a statement, HP said: “After a successful 20 years with HP David Wright has decided to leave to pursue his career outside of HP. The company would like to take this opportunity to thank David for his significant contribution to HP and wish David all the best for the future.”
