New Delhi: Country's second largest software services firm Infosys has appointed David D Kennedy as its Executive Vice President and General Counsel.
Based out of California, US, Kennedy will also be the Executive Officer for the purposes of SEC Reporting, Infosys said in a statement.
Prior to Infosys, he had worked at JDA Software Group, Better Place and Business Objects. He had also served in various leadership roles within the legal department of a number of IBM business units.
"Having served in leading legal roles at prominent technology companies over a 25-year career, David brings diverse and rich experience to lead this key dimension in the evolution of Infosys as we reshape into a next-generation services company," Infosys CEO and Managing Director Vishal Sikka said.
In April this year, Infosys senior vice president and general counsel Nithyanandan Radhakrishnan had resigned from the firm to become an independent consultant on international legal matters.
Infosys had said it will continue its association with Radhakrishnan as the Bangalore-based firm would be "his first significant client."
Radhakrishnan quit at a time when the firm was witnessing a slew of exits by high and middle rank executives.
However, since Sikka, who is a former Board member at enterprise solutions giant SAP, took over as the CEO at Infosys, several new executives, including senior vice presidents have joined the software services firm.
