Chicago: Bounteous, a global digital transformation consultancy, has appointed Sudarshan Mandayam as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective 1 April.
His appointment follows the company’s merger with Accolite Digital and marks a shift in leadership as Bounteous moves into its next phase of operations.
Leadership Change at Bounteous
Mandayam, who previously served as President, Americas at Bounteous, will take over from co-CEOs Keith Schwartz and Leela Kaza. Both leaders will step into new roles as Vice Chairmen of the Board, where they will continue to influence the company’s strategic direction.
Mandayam has held leadership positions at Cognizant, Infosys, L&T Infotech, JPMorgan and Citi. He has experience across multiple global markets, including the Americas, EMEA and APAC, with a focus on digital transformation and scaling business operations.
Focus on AI and Digital Transformation
Bounteous, known for its digital consulting and strategy services, is positioning itself to deepen its focus on AI-driven transformation under Mandayam’s leadership. He emphasized the importance of integrating AI and digital technologies into business operations to help clients navigate rapid industry shifts.
“As AI reshapes industries, we aim to help clients transform with speed and purpose,” Mandayam said.
Strategic Direction Post-Merger
Bounteous merged with Accolite Digital in late 2023 to expand its expertise in digital engineering, cloud and AI solutions. The leadership transition comes as the company looks to scale its operations and strengthen its client partnerships.
Board executives, including Prasad Chintamaneni, Managing Director at New Mountain Capital, signaled strong confidence in Mandayam’s ability to lead Bounteous through this phase. “With his leadership, we’re focusing on AI-led transformation and industry-specific digital strategies,” Chintamaneni said.
What’s Next for Bounteous?
Bounteous has positioned itself as a player in digital transformation, working with enterprises to develop AI-driven solutions. The company’s leadership shift signals a strategic move to expand its influence in emerging technology and business innovation.
The transition will take effect on 1 April 2025.
