Former Mphasis EVP Ganesh Murthy Joins Dell Services

US-based technology major Dell has appointed former Mphasis executive vice-president (EVP) Ganesh Murthy as vice-president and chief financial officer (CFO) of Dell Services.

Murthy will report to Dell’s senior vice-president and CFO Thomas Sweet and Dell Services’ president Suresh Vaswani, the firm said in a statement.

Murthy joins Dell from Mphasis, a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard (HP), where he worked for five years and served as executive vice-president and CFO.

Earlier, he was the finance director for HP GlobalSoft Ltd in Bangalore. He also held leading finance positions at Texas Instruments and Thomson Multimedia.

"Ganesh's deep business and finance acumen, impressive track record of financial leadership and strong services background make him a great fit for his new role with Dell Services," said Vaswani.

Murthy will help execute Dell Services' long-term strategy of innovating and driving value for customers and the transformation of business with disciplined cost management, he added.

"Dell has begun a new chapter as a private company. That, along with the tremendous market potential that Dell Services offers, makes this a very exciting opportunity,” said Murthy on his appointment.

Last week, Dell Services announced that former Infosys honcho Prasad Thrikutam would join the technology firm as president and global head of its Application Services division from July 28.
