Long time Harvey Norman computer and communications GM John Slack-Smith has moved upstairs to become the retailer’s chief operating officer, effective last week.
He will be replaced by right hand man, business manager, computers and communications, Rutland Smith, a former Harvey Norman franchisee and veteran of the Australian IT market. Smith confirmed Slack-Smith's promotion with CRN this week.

During his tenure, Slack-Smith presided over Harvey Norman’s billion dollar IT business, capturing around 40 percent of Australia’s IT retail market.
