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.

“Sudhir has a unique blend of expertise across Consulting, IT Services and Software, alongside industry, digital transformation and strategic sourcing experience,” said Abhijit Dubey. “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.”

Chaturvedi brings an impressive 28-year career across diverse industries driving global strategy and results. Most recently, he was President of Global Markets at LTIMindtree. Before LTIMindtree, Chaturvedi was the Chief Operating Officer at NIIT Technologies.
