Zafar Khan, who stepped down as Carillion's finance director after just nine months in the job shortly before the business collapsed in January 2018, had voluntarily agreed to the disqualification, the Insolvency Service said on Monday.
Carillion employed 43,000 people before it collapsed in Britain's biggest bankruptcy in a decade.
The Insolvency Service applied for eight directors linked to the business to be disqualified and the Financial Conduct Authority fined three former executives in 2022, including Khan, for "recklessly" publishing misleading financial statements.
Litigation is continuing against other directors and a trial has been set for Oct. 16, the Insolvency Service said.
