Tech Mahindra appointed former Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) veteran Rajashree R as its chief growth officer for America strategic verticals this month.
“It’s so wonderful to have someone with your calibre and experience in our leadership team,” Mohit Joshi, chief executive officer of Tech Mahindra, wrote on LinkedIn on Monday congratulating Rajashree. She is the latest top level executive to have joined Joshi’s team amid the IT firm’s restructuring.
On Monday, Rajashree posted on LinkedIn, “Where next was the question facing me for the past several months—another IT company, smaller, bigger, start-up, software company, etc. I knew, more than anything else, that what mattered to me was a vibrant, dynamic, and agile environment, good people to work with, an opportunity to learn and grow, and, most importantly, the right culture and value system.”
