NEW DELHI – It’s time to move over for Microsoft's Satya Nadella, Google's Sundar Pichai or Adobe's Shantanu Narayan as new faces have joined the high-profile league of Indian American-led businesses, calling the shots in Silicon Valley and leading the global digital transformation wave.
The latest to join the elite tech CEOs' club is Rajesh Nambiar, currently the chairman and managing director of Cognizant India, who has replaced Malcolm Frank, executive vice president and president, Digital Business and Technology, at the IT major.
Nambiar, who developed and led Operation C3 (Cognizant Combats COVID-19), brings deep knowledge of applications, data, AI, analytics, infrastructure, cloud, and consulting to his new role that began from June 4.
In a short span of time, Nambiar has established himself as a trusted leader among the 200,000 associates of Cognizant in India.
"Living and working in India, which I will continue to do, has helped me deeply understand our company's strong operating model and how we deliver value to clients," he said in an internal note after his elevation to the top role on May 28.
Earlier in his career, Nambiar served as the global leader of IBM Application Services, where he was responsible for an $8 billion P&L that included data, AI, and analytics, oversaw the building of technology practices offering a range of applications, and managed profitable delivery for thousands of clients.
He joins Arvind Krishna, the newly appointed CEO of the world's oldest technology company IBM, taking the Indian talent to new heights.
An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, Krishna replaced Virginia Rometty as the CEO of the IBM Group.
