Marks & Spencer's head of IT Darrell Stein plans to leave the company just months after the pivotal relaunch of its website in which he played an integral role.
Stein, who was boarding a flight to India this afternoon as the news broke, is expected to leave this summer. It also emerged last night that property director will also leave the business at around the same time.
It is understood that Stein has left the business for a new role elsewhere.
The company said in a statement: 'We can confirm that Darrell Stein, director of IT, and Clem Constantine, director of property, will be leaving the business in the summer.'
'Their roles have significantly changed recently; Darrell developed our new e-commerce platform which has now been delivered and, as announced at our interims, we will be putting on less general merchandise space which changes our property focus,' the company's statement said.
Marks & Spencer said: 'Both Darrell and Clem have done a great job and we wish them well going forward. We have a very strong talent pool at M&S that is being recognised internally and externally.'
Stein was travelling to India last night to meet with Marks & Spencer IT supplier Tata Consultancy Services. It is not yet known what firm he has signed up to work for next.
