Exodus Continues

Adding to an exodus of top executives, Ingram Micro Inc. said its chief information officer is leaving for a top spot at General Motors Corp. Richard J. Kish, who joined the Santa Ana-based computer distributor in late 1997, has headed up the company’s technology initiatives, including co-chairing its e-commerce group. He will head GM’s electronic commerce and distribution team. He could not be reached for comment. An Ingram Micro spokeswoman said Kish’s departure “will not affect the company in the least.” His interim successor is Guy P. Abramo, senior vice president of worldwide marketing. Kish is the third high-level Ingram executive to leave in three months.
