Distributor poaches storage expert from HP

Computacenter Distribution (CCD) has poached a top HP storage expert to head up its specialist division.

Steve Bradbury worked with Darryl Brick in HP’s Enterprise Server and Services division before Brick left to lead HP’s ProCurve business. Bradbury will start as CCD’s storage category manager in March.

Lee Perkins, business unit director at CCD, said: “We are delighted to get Steve on board.” Perkins said Bradbury will also be tasked with expanding CCD’s storage portfolio, which is currently almost exclusively HP.

HP declined to comment.
