Ravi Kumar, who assumed the role of CEO after the company's board asked his predecessor Brian Humphries to resign on 9 January, has hit the ground running as he meets 1,000 senior leaders at the company's annual strategy planning event in Abu Dhabi.
"It just takes a few quick wins to create a positive momentum flywheel, and I believe that flywheel can drive a multiplier effect for our company: to capture an extraordinary market opportunity, to become the employer of choice for our industry," Kumar wrote in a note after he arrived at a hotel in Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi.
"Over the next few days, the CEO would get an understanding of each of the service offerings and what we as a company should focus on," said a senior executive on the condition of anonymity. "The brief, for now, is to maintain continuity and not to get distracted by the leadership changes."
Last week, in addition to naming a new chief executive, Cognizant also appointed former Accenture executive Stephen Rohleder as the new chairman, replacing Michael Patsalos-Fox.
Rohleder had joined the Cognizant board in March.
