Veteran tech executive Sudhir Chaturvedi will join Plano-based NTT DATA as its global chief growth officer and North America chief executive officer, the company announced.
Chaturvedi will be based in Plano and will report to Abhijit Dubey, president and Global CEO of NTT DATA Inc.
“Sudhir has a unique blend of expertise across consulting, IT Services and software, alongside industry, digital transformation and strategic sourcing experience,” Dubey said in a statement. “He has a very strong background in industry driven sales and go-to-market transformations, and execution of growth initiatives at the intersection of strategic clients, transformation deals and joint go-to-market with strategic partners. This, coupled with his client-centric approach and expertise in the North America market, makes him the perfect fit for both roles.”
In the newly created global chief growth officer role, Chaturvedi will lead the acceleration of consistent growth strategies globally, with special focus on global industries, strategic accounts, and joint go-to-market execution with key strategic partners.
In his North America CEO role, Chaturvedi will lead NTT DATA’s growth and business in this strategic region, while leveraging synergies with his global chief growth officer role.
Driving global strategy and growth
Chaturvedi, who brings a 28-year career “driving global strategy and results” across diverse industries, succeeds Eric Clark, who is leaving the company for a leadership role outside of NTT DATA, the company said.
Most recently, Chaturvedi was president of Global Markets at LTIMindtree. Before LTIMindtree, Chaturvedi was the chief operating officer at NIIT Technologies. His earlier career included a succession of leadership roles at Infosys, where he drove strong growth across various business units in Europe and North America during his 13 years with the company.
Before Infosys, Chaturvedi held consulting roles at EY and A.F. Ferguson.
“I would like to thank Eric for his leadership during his NTT DATA career, most recently leading our North America business and positioning NTT DATA for continued success in this critical market.” Dubey said. “Eric has been a tremendous colleague to me personally. We wish him well in his new opportunity.”
Chaturvedi said he’s excited about his new role at NTT DATA.
“NTT DATA is a powerhouse in the technology industry. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join the company at this critical time working alongside the talented team at NTT DATA,” Chaturvedi said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to bringing NTT DATA’s unparalleled expertise and capabilities to our clients, strengthening our role as their trusted partner.”
Chaturvedi holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and dual MBAs from the University of Poona and the University of Leeds, focusing on Finance and Information Systems and an Advanced Management Program degree from the Wharton School.
