Departures are a sign of weakness and instability, so no company wishes to talk about them in public, unless it's absolutely necessary. Well, Desan Naidoo turns out to have left Novell.

Naidoo joins the SAS team as GM of the public sector division, from his previous position as sales director of Novell SA, where he had extensive experience dealing with government departments, as well as many of the countries blue chip companies.

Novell's operations in South Africa suffered an exodus a year ago. It was probably a quiet exodus, but its scale was rather large following the departure of the chief, Stafford Masie. ⬆
