Salil Parekh is all set to take charge as Infosys CEO on Tuesday as the over $10 billion company looks to bring back the focus on revenue growth and business strategy under the new leadership. Infosys, which spent most part of 2017 handling the public standoff between its high-profile promoters and the past leadership, will also announce its third quarter financials on January 12.
Industry watchers say Parekh’s skills in handling multi-cultural work environment, combined with his strong grip on technology and sales, makes him the perfect choice for leading Infosys during this period of transition.
Parekh, 53, is described as a soft-spoken yet determined man by those who know him. He was chosen from over two dozen candidates in a search that lasted about three months and covered a wide canvas of names within Infosys as well as alumni and external aspirants.
