Michael Pesch to be CEO of Infosys Consulting Holding

Infosys has got ex-EDS executive Michael Pesch as the CEO of its consulting business Infosys Consulting Holding. Pesch is looking to strengthen Infosys's expertise in large-scale SAP programs. This is a part of CEO Vishal Sikka's broader strategy of strengthening the company's top leadership team.

This appointment comes weeks after the company named ex-Razorfish executive Scott Sorokin as its digital head. This comes at a time when the company is increasingly focusing on newer technologies like cloud computing and analytics.

Pesch has recently served as CEO of arvato Systems Group. He will report to Sanjay Purohit, the global head of Infosys's consulting business. Pesch will also be responsible for Infosys' consulting practice in Europe, Latin America and the Asia Pacific Region, Infosys said.
