DXC Technology announces leadership overhaul

Only one year after CEO Mike Salvino took the reins, Tysons-based Fortune 500 IT company DXC Technology on Monday announced a major leadership overhaul, including naming new heads of its Americas, Asian Pacific and Europe, Middle East and Africa business segments, among others. 

Salvino announced the following appointments and changes to the executive leadership team:

• Americas will be led by Jim Brady and David Swift. Brady joined DXC in June from Accumen, where he was the chief operating officer. He previously worked with Accenture and Honeywell. Swift joined DXC in November 2019 from Accolade where he was chief service officer. He previously worked with Aon Hewitt and Accenture.
• Asia Pacific will be led by Seelan Nayagam. Nayagam joined DXC six years ago leading Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) and will now also lead Asia. The units will operate as one business unit.
• Europe, Middle East and Africa will be led by Tom Pettit and Steve Turpie. Pettit joined DXC in June from Accenture where he spent 25 years, most recently as a senior managing director in Accenture’s Health and Public Services business. Turpie joined DXC in November 2019 and previously held senior roles in strategic sourcing and procurement at QBE Insurance Group Ltd. and Zurich Insurance Company.
• DXC/Luxoft Analytics & Engineering will run by Dmitry Loschinin, formerly the CEO of Luxoft. 

The company also announced the following changes in corporate functions:

• Marketing and communications will be led by Shari Wenker, chief marketing and communications officer. She joined DXC in April from Accenture, where she spent 24 years and most recently led marketing and communications for Accenture Technology.
• Legal will continue to be led by Bill Deckelman, who has been general counsel and secretary for 12 years. Deckelman will transition his secretary responsibilities to Head of Corporate Legal Zafar Hasan, who joined DXC three years ago.

“I am very pleased with the leadership team that we have been able to create to drive the ‘new DXC’,” Salvino said in a statement.  “We have attracted some outstanding industry talent and combined with the existing leaders have created a leadership team that has a strong track record of delivering for customers and people.  I am looking forward to personally working with this team to continue to execute on our transformation journey.”

DXC Technology was formed in April 2017 as a result of the merger of Computer Science Corp. and the Enterprise Services business of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The company has 138,000 employees worldwide and last year had revenues of more than $21 billion.
