Fuji Xerox has parted company with national sales manager Adam Fittler amid speculation of further departures at the industry's leading digital supplier.
Fittler's move comes a month after Fuji Xerox appointed new managing director Sunil Gupta to replace Neil Whittaker, who left the job abruptly in May after an audit by Singapore HQ. Two weeks ago, Fuji Xerox cancelled incentive trips for its top sales people.
Fittler had been with the company for almost 11 years, starting out as a national account manager before being promoted in 2011 to the role of national sales manager, where he handled major clients.
In April this year, he supervised the installation of the Fuji Xerox web-to-print technology XMPie at 44 Worldwide Printing Solutions centres in WA, SA, NSW, VIC and QLD.
A month earlier, Fittler oversaw a mega deal to install four brand new Fuji Xerox iGen5 presses at Blue Star plants in Melbourne and Sydney.
New MD Gupta commenced his role early this month, taking over from temporary MD Masashi Honda - president, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific - who had flown in at short notice to take temporary control of the business in the weeks following the sudden departure of Whittaker.
"We must now look forward and redefine who we are both internally and externally," Gupta said at the time. "I am impressed by the talent throughout the organisation and am focused on getting back to basics to create a company that is easy for our valued customers to do business with, foster a winning and engaged culture internally and continue to carve out market share across all industries by delivering greater value.”
The company says it will not be making a statement. Fittler has been unavailable for comment.
