Capgemini has officially named Anirban Bose as the new CEO of its Americas Strategic Business Unit, effective November 1, 2024. The appointment comes as part of a sweeping leadership realignment intended to fortify the company’s presence in the Americas and support its long-term growth strategy. Bose takes over from Jim Bailey, who successfully led the Americas region for the past four years.
Bose’s elevation to the role underscores Capgemini’s emphasis on internal leadership development and continuity. Having joined the company in 2004, Bose has spent over two decades driving large-scale digital transformation initiatives across financial services and other key sectors. Most recently, he served as CEO of Capgemini’s Financial Services Strategic Business Unit, a role in which he significantly expanded the company’s market share in banking, insurance, and capital markets. Under his leadership, Capgemini became a go-to partner for clients undergoing major IT modernization and digital replatforming efforts.
His deep industry experience and technical acumen position him well to address the unique demands of the Americas market—a region that includes Capgemini’s largest national operations outside of Europe. With technology services in high demand across industries such as healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and financial services, the Americas continue to be a major engine of growth for Capgemini. Bose’s appointment signals a renewed focus on building strategic client relationships, enhancing delivery capabilities, and scaling innovative solutions tailored to this dynamic market.
CEO Aiman Ezzat welcomed the leadership change, stating, “Anirban is well-positioned to accelerate our trajectory in the Americas, building on our progress in the region over the past four years under the leadership of Jim Bailey.” Ezzat highlighted Bose’s proven track record of delivering results and driving operational excellence across geographies.
In addition to Bose’s new role, Capgemini announced a broader leadership reshuffle to align with its global growth ambitions. Kartik Ramakrishnan, formerly the Deputy CEO of Financial Services, has been appointed CEO of the Financial Services Strategic Business Unit. Ramakrishnan’s promotion reflects his role in building out Capgemini’s fintech and core banking modernization portfolio, especially in the Asia-Pacific and North American markets.
Furthermore, Capgemini named Jérôme Siméon as Chief Revenue Officer, a newly created position that will focus on maximizing global revenue streams through integrated go-to-market strategies and cross-industry synergies. Siméon previously led Capgemini’s operations in France and played a crucial role in transforming its public and private sector engagements through cloud and AI adoption.
Franck Greverie, another seasoned executive, was appointed Chief Technology Officer. In this role, he will be responsible for guiding Capgemini’s technology vision and R&D investments, especially in artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and next-generation digital infrastructure. Greverie previously led the cloud and cybersecurity businesses within Capgemini and is known for his innovation-focused leadership.
These appointments, effective January 1, 2025, are part of Capgemini’s broader mission to stay at the forefront of digital transformation. The company is strategically aligning its leadership to capture new market opportunities, particularly in high-growth sectors like generative AI, sustainable IT, and intelligent automation.
The Americas region is expected to play a central role in this evolution. With growing enterprise demand for complex IT solutions and digital services, Capgemini sees strong potential in deepening client relationships across North and South America. The company has already been investing in new delivery centers, local talent acquisition, and expanded partnerships with cloud providers and technology startups.
As Capgemini navigates a competitive global IT services landscape, these changes mark a reaffirmation of its client-centric approach and innovation-driven agenda. Anirban Bose’s leadership will be instrumental in executing this vision, especially as digital transformation continues to reshape business priorities across the Americas.
