Lenovo country manager Dean Butchers is leaving the PC vendor after 14 years — for most of which it was part of IBM — to become general manager of global sales at agri-tech company Tru-Test Group.
Butchers says his responsibilities will be shared between the vendor's Australian-based director of small business and consumer, Callum Eade, and its Australia-New Zealand sales director Paul Richardson.
Butchers, who first joined IBM in 1995 as notebook products and marketing manager, says "Lenovo has provided me with fantastic career opportunities... and I’ll continue to follow the fortunes of my friends and former colleagues with great interest".
