Silicon Valley-based digital engineering firm Xoriant has named Sukamal Banerjee as its new CEO. He has left the organisation and is no longer corporate vice president of the global engineering business at HCLTech.
Early this year, shortly after Sanjay Jalona, a former chief executive of Larsen & Toubro Infotech, joined the company as an operational partner, investment firm ChrysCapital purchased Xoriant.
This occurs at the same time as peer Infosys reporting two top level exits. President Mohit Joshi has joined as CEO &MD of Tech Mahindra, replacing former president and COO Ravi Kumar S, who became CEO of Cognizant.
Banerjee has over 27 years of experience with HCLTech and most recently served as the global head of IoT WoRKS and oversaw Digital Engineering business spanning Technology, Semiconductor, and Telecom markets.
"On behalf of ChrysCapital and everyone at Xoriant, I am delighted to welcome Sukamal as CEO of the company. Sukamal comes with a proven experience of driving growth, deep strategic thinking, strong operational expertise, an exceptional leadership track record and will lead Xoriant in its next phase of growth” said Sanjay Jalona Chairman of the Board, Xoriant.
Banerjee has a mechanical engineering bachelor's degree and an MBA in finance and strategy.
“I look forward to working with the impressive senior leadership team of Xoriant; our talented employees; with Sanjay and the board. I am confident collectively a new chapter of growth, value and differentiation will be created for our clients, partners and employees,” said Banerjee.
