Rajesh Nambiar joins Cognizant as President, Digital Business and Technology of the US-based IT major. He succeeds Malcolm Frank, who will retire from the company with effect from September 1, 2021.

"On May 28, 2021, Malcolm Frank, Executive Vice President and President, Digital Business and Technology, notified Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation of his intent to retire, effective September 1, 2021," Cognizant said in a regulatory filing.

Cognizant had named Rajesh Nambiar as the Chairman and Managing Director of its India operations and a member of its Executive Committee effective November 9, 2020. After his role, he will continue to hold the position of India chairman as well.

He was previously associated with Ciena, a networking, systems, and software company, where he served as the Chairman and President of India operations. He has also worked with IBM and Tata Consultancy Services.

In an internal note, Cognizant Chief Executive Officer Brian Humphries said drawing on the depth and richness of his technology, commercial, and delivery background, Nambiar has quickly embodied Cognizant's culture and established himself as a trusted leader among its 2 lakh associates in India.

"This goes well beyond his outstanding job of developing and leading 'Operation C3 - Cognizant Combats COVID-19'. Rajesh brings deep knowledge of applications, data, AI, analytics, infrastructure, cloud, and consulting to his new role," he added.
