Cognizant’s CEO Brian Humphries has recently announced that Cognizant India’s Chairman and Managing Director, Ramkumar Ramamoorthy has resigned from his position.
Brian Humphries said, “Ramkumar has decided to retire from Cognizant, effective July 17, 2020. We are particularly grateful for Ramkumar’s leadership role during the pandemic, where he ensured associate health and safety and effectuated the transition to work from home.”
He was a working member of Cognizant’s global Executive Leadership Team where he had responsibility for driving the company’s strategy and operations. He has served the company in several senior positions including Executive Director of Cognizant India.
He has worked across various portfolios in the Company, such as Cognizant Interactive, market research and intelligence, corporate marketing and communications, and government and corporate affairs.
