NTT Data appoints Sudhir Chaturvedi as Global Chief Growth Officer and North America CEO

NTT Data has announced the appointment of former LTIMindtree president Sudhir Chaturvedi as its global chief growth officer and North America CEO. This development comes less than a month after the industry veteran had quit his previous role as LTIMindtree president.

The position of Global Chief Growth Officer is a newly created role, wherein Chaturvedi will lead consistent growth strategies globally, with special focus on global industries, strategic accounts, and joint go-to-market execution with key strategic partners.

As the North America CEO, he will be responsible for NTT Data’s growth and business in this strategic region. He succeeds Eric Clark who is leaving the company for a leadership role outside the company.

Chaturvedi will report to Abhijit Dubey, President and Global CEO of NTT DATA, Inc., and will be based in Plano, Texas.

“NTT DATA is a powerhouse in the technology industry. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join the company at this critical time working alongside the talented team at NTT DATA,” Chaturvedi said.

Chaturvedi’s last day of work at LTIMindtree was on January 27. In his previous tenure, he was instrumental in signing several recent deals making headlines for LTIMindtree, including setting up a joint venture (JV) with Saudi Aramco's IT services arm Global Digital with an initial investment of $12.3 million.

Coming with an experience of 28 years, Chaturvedi had been an Infosys veteran where he last served as a senior vice president and head of financial services- Americas, leading a $1-billion plus business unit. Before joining L&T Infotech, Chaturvedi was the COO of NIIT Technologies.
