Cognizant Appoints Jatin Dalal as Chief Financial Officer

Cognizant (Nasdaq: CTSH), one of the world’s leading professional services companies, today announced the appointment of Jatin Dalal as Chief Financial Officer, with the appointment anticipated to be effective in December 2023. Dalal will report to Ravi Kumar S, Cognizant’s Chief Executive Officer, and oversee, among other responsibilities, Cognizant’s worldwide financial planning and analysis, accounting and controllership, tax, treasury and internal audit, corporate development, investor relations and enterprise risk management functions.

Dalal will succeed Jan Siegmund, who, as previously disclosed, intends to retire in early 2024. Upon Dalal’s assumption of the role of CFO, Siegmund will remain with the Company as a non-executive officer and special advisor to support an orderly transition.

He joins Cognizant from Wipro, a publicly traded multinational technology services and consulting company, where he had served as CFO since April 2015 and assumed additional responsibilities as President beginning in December 2019. Previously, he was CFO of Wipro’s Global IT Business from 2011 to 2015 in Bangalore, and prior to that, he served as Wipro’s UK Head of Finance for the Europe region and as the Global Finance Head for the company’s Energy & Utilities, Health Care, and Manufacturing business units.

“Jatin is a highly experienced technology services CFO with a proven track record of financial and operational success in a complex and quickly evolving industry,” said Ravi Kumar S, Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased to welcome Jatin to Cognizant and confident he will help us achieve our goals as we continue to focus on driving revenue growth.”
