Cognizant’s President Gordon Coburn resigns, replaced by Rajeev Mehta

MUMBAI: Cognizant said its President Gordon Coburn had resigned and that it was appointing Rajeev Mehta to replace him, the second management reorganization at the IT company in as many months.

Coburn had been a president at the Teaneck, New Jersey-headquartered IT company since 2012 and had earlier served at its chief financial officer.

Mehta was previously chief executive officer for IT services at Cognizant.

"I look forward to continuing to work closely with Raj in the coming years as we execute on our Cognizant 2020 strategy focused on helping our clients become digital enterprises,” Franscisco D’souza, CEO of Cognizant said in a statement.

Coburn’s resignation comes a little over a month after Cognizant said it reorganized its delivery services by service line and appointed three new presidents in the wake of its disappointing results in the last quarter.

Debashis Chatterjee was appointed President of Next-Generation IT services, Gajen Kandiah was appointed President of Digital Works and Sumithra Gomatam was appointed President of Global Process and Platform Solutions.
