The company appointed Ajay Vij as Country Managing Director and Sandeep Dutta as India Market Unit Head. Together they will take over Menon’s responsibilities in the company.
Accenture said Rekha M Menon, Accenture’s senior managing director and chairperson in India, will retire on June 30 after a career of 20 years at Accenture. The primary responsibilities of the chairperson will now be carried out by the new appointees.
Menon’s roles during his time at the company included growing his business, as well as building relationships with stakeholders including industry, government and customers. “He led India’s corporate citizenship strategy and championed the company’s inclusion and diversity agenda,” Accenture said.
“I would like to express my deep gratitude to Rekha for her exceptional leadership for over two decades. He helped build a strong foundation for Accenture in India across many aspects of our business and leaves behind an outstanding legacy of accomplishment and impact for our clients, our people and our communities,” Growth Markets CEO Leonardo Framil said in a statement.
Vij, as Country Managing Director, will expand his current responsibilities as Corporate Services and Sustainability Lead for India to provide overall leadership and coordinated decision making for key company priorities.
Datta, as India sales lead and now head of Accenture’s India market unit, will be responsible for driving the business and operations in the domestic market, with a focus on growth, market differentiation and customers. In an extension of this role, Dutta will work with local business communities and represent Accenture with India’s industry and trade bodies.
“I would like to congratulate Ajay and Sandeep on their fine appointments and new responsibilities. I and our entire global management committee look forward to working closely with them to create significant value for our customers, people and communities in India and the customers we serve around the world.
