(Alliance News) - Shares in Computacenter PLC fell on Monday after it said its chief financial officer has stepped down by "mutual agreement".
The Hatfield-based technology services provider said Christian Jehle had stepped down as CFO and as an executive director with "immediate effect" but will remain a Computacenter employee until the end of the year. This will facilitate a "smooth transition and handover of his responsibilities".
Ahead of any future appointment, Jehle's responsibilities will be fulfilled by the broader finance team in conjunction with the existing executive management team.
"The board would like to thank Christian for his contribution to Computacenter during his tenure and wishes him well for the future," the company said in a statement.
Jehle will be paid in lieu of notice for the balance of the 12-month notice period. He will be eligible to receive an annual bonus for 2024.
Jehle joined Computacenter in June 2023 from Experian PLC where he was CFO and executive director for the UK & Ireland division. Prior to which, he held the CFO role of Global Decision Analytics at Experian.
A process to appoint a successor will now begin.
Shares in Computacenter were 6.4% lower at 2,100.00 pence each on Monday morning.
