The company is restructuring its leadership team with a mix of internal promotions and external hires. The company is aiming for growth with this restructuring. In an interview, Cognizant CEO Brian Humphries said, “We are focused on returning Cognizant to IT services industry bellwether status. To achieve this, we need a combination of long-time Cognizant veterans along with newcomers who bring fresh perspectives to our business.”

Last week, the company appointed Rajesh Nambiar as the chairman and managing director (CMD) for India and member of the executive committee. He will join from November 9th. On-boarding of Nambiar will help Cognizant to increase focus on India. He replaces Ramakumar Ramamoorthy, who has left the company in July.
