“We can confirm that Suresh Muthuswami has decided to leave TCS after a 26 year career in the company. We wish him all the best,” the company said in a statement.
Muthuswami oversaw TCS’ largest market in driving business growth, strengthening customer relationships, and helping clients in their digital transformation journeys, according to the company website. Prior to becoming Chairman of North America, he was president and global head of Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance Platforms at TCS.
In this role, he was responsible for creating a vision, driving digital and business strategy, overseeing business and digital transformation efforts for clients, and leading TCS global service delivery across financial services and insurance.
