Cognizant appoints Jatin Dalal as CFO

Cognizant appointed Jatin Dalal as CFO, effective in December. Dalal will succeed Jan Siegmund, who intends to retire in early 2024. Upon Dalal’s assumption of the role of CFO, Siegmund will remain with the company as a non-executive officer and special advisor to support an orderly transition. Dalal joins Cognizant from Wipro, a publicly traded multinational technology services and consulting company, where he had served as CFO since April 2015 and assumed additional responsibilities as President beginning in December 2019. Previously, he was CFO of Wipro’s Global IT Business from 2011 to 2015 in Bangalore, and prior to that, he served as Wipro’s UK Head of Finance for the Europe region and as the Global Finance Head for the company’s Energy & Utilities, Health Care, and Manufacturing business units.
