International VAR Computacenter has appointed Christian Jehle as its new chief financial officer and executive director, succeeding Tony Conophy, who is retiring after almost 25 years with the company.
Jehle will join the firm and the board between 24 March 2023 and 1 July 2023. He is currently chief financial officer and executive director for the UK and Ireland division of Experian, prior to which he held the role of chief financial officer of global decision analytics at Experian.
He started his career as a graduate at Fujitsu Siemens Computers, and prior to joining Experian, held a number of commercial and finance roles at Accenture, First Data International and SAP.
Conophy will remain at the firm until Jehle joins. Mike Norris, chief executive officer at Computacenter, said of the transition: “Christian’s career to date has been characterised by leading transformations of finance functions to ensure that they are best-in-class and fit for purpose for continually expanding and changing businesses.
"It is hard to overstate the contribution that Tony has made during his time at Computacenter, following his appointment as the group's chief financial officer in 1998. I would personally like to thank Tony for his wise counsel, unwavering support and exceptional service during that time.”
Jehle will receive an annual base salary of £450,000. He will receive a pension allowance of 5% of salary in line with the wider Computacenter workforce in the UK, and other benefits according to existing policies.
