Infosys board to see 2 new members soon!

Infosys, the Indian multinational corporation dealing in software, IT and business consulting, is thinking of adding at least two new members to its eight-member board in the coming six months. Infosys has always maintained a lean-board strategy, with not more than two executive directors, so as to ensure faster decision-making.

After the exit of former ICICI Bank chairman KV Kamath and Carol M Browner, the company is eager to fill the vacant posts. Candidates experienced in financial services, government regulations and technology are the need of the hour for India's second largest software exporter.

In the meantime, Jeffrey Sean Lehman, who is a veteran of the Infosys board and serves as the vice chancellor of NYU Shanghai, has got an extension for at least another year. Lehman’s term was to expire in 2016.

"Infosys is committed to building a board with members that have diverse experiences and dynamic leadership skills. The nominations committee of the Infosys Board identifies and reviews suitable candidates who bring with them global experience and insights that enrich the quality of our board meetings and add to our strategic vision as we plan the next-generation services company," R Seshasayee, the non-executive chairman of the board, told ET.
