DXC appoints new President of Consulting & Engineering Services

DXC Technology’s strategic priorities centre on strengthening and further simplifying its offerings, driving performance, and creating differentiated value for its global customers. The newly appointed President of Consulting & Engineering Services (CES) will, according to DXC’s press release, play “a critical role” in moving towards those goals. CES, which focuses on helping clients across numerous industries solve complex strategic, operational, and technology challenges, has 50,000 engineers globally.

Ramnath Venkataraman, who will report directly to DXC President & CEO Raul Fernandez, joins having served three decades at Accenture, where he held a Global Management Committee position. Most recently, he oversaw the firm’s global technology sales, solutioning, assets, offerings, and network of Advanced Technology Centers. DXC highlights his professional services experience leading enterprise-wide modernisation efforts, with scaled delivery, as well as his “forward-looking approach to AI and next-generation technologies”.

This appointment is part of DXC's stated commitment to attracting top-tier leadership to build and grow its priority businesses. Other recent appointments have included Bill Pieroni as Global Strategy and Growth Leader for the Insurance Software & Business Process Services arm (see Pieroni joins DXC to lead Insurance strategy | TechMarketView), Sandeep Bhanote as the company’s new Financial Services Industry Leader for CES (see Bhanote joins DXC to lead Financial Services CES | TechMarketView), and T.R. Newcomb into the company’s newly created role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) (see DXC Technology appoints Newcomb as CRO | TechMarketView).

As we highlighted in our recently published UK SITS Supplier Rankings 2025 (see UK SITS Supplier Rankings 2025 | TechMarketView), Fernandez has stated that DXC is “on the right path to building a business with profitable and sustainable revenue growth,” despite global revenue declining 5.8% in FY25 (4.6% on an organic basis) and the projection of an organic revenue decline between 3.0% and 5.0% for FY26. In the UK, we have witnessed significant operational improvements, but the company continues to face growth challenges. In light of DXC’s challenges, this and other recent appointments hold great significance as the company looks to strengthen its competitive positioning.
