Indian IT giant Infosys, currently in the midst of a poaching war Cognizant, has lost another senior executive, this time to rival firm Accenture. Infosys’ former senior executive Binny Mathews joined Accenture as the chief procurement officer.
The global IT consulting firm said in a statement that Binny Mathews has joined Accenture as the chief procurement officer and head of the company’s Procurement Plus (P+) capability.
Before joining Accenture, Mathews had been with Infosys for over 15 years and was senior vice president and group head of procurement. He joined Accenture on January 3, being the most recent senior executive to part ways with the Indian IT firm.
“Mathews will be responsible for leading the strategic direction for Accenture’s global procurement spend. This includes continuing the transformation of the company’s supply chain into a sustainable, diverse value chain, committed to responsible and profitable buying and 360° supplier partnerships,” Accenture said in a statement, reported Economic Times.
Mathews has worked in the Tata Group, FreeMarkets (now SAP Ariba) and Marico in their procurement wings before joining Infosys as a senior VP in the department. Accenture has also recently announced the appointment of five senior level executives, including Manish Sharma as its North America CEO, and John Walsh as its chief operating officer.
