@4wpy: Merge with Accenture? But why? What has DXC got that Accenture could possibly want?
The inside word is that DXC will be merging very with Accenture, the end result will be even more bean counters being required to manage the managers. More bureaucracy = less efficient operations and more BS.
So much for hope and change.
Prior to Accolade, Swift served as an executive vice president at Aon Hewitt, leading the Outsourcing business unit and, later, the Innovation function. He also was a consulting manager at Accenture.
Of course Accenture, Sal is bringing in all his old buddies
"He also was a consulting manager at Accenture."
Nuff said...
well if the head of CPS finally goes we do know Sal is serious about changing DXC - otherwise its just tinkering at the edges (and given the Titanic references earlier, perhaps just hire a good band who can play Abide with Me)
Who is that guy leaving ? - cannot wait for the farewell party.
Wow. So he's not just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, he's flying new deck chairs in. Awesome.
“Swifty”
When your boss makes decisions for you - you know you are toast. First recruiting the UKIIMEA client lead for M&M and then recruiting this guy for Mr HOland - seems like succession planning.....
A chemical engineer...yep, sounds like a good fit.
DXC Technology Appoints New Leader to Client Account Management Role in Americas Region
News Release – November 06, 2019
TYSONS, Va., Nov. 6, 2019 – DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) today announced continued strengthening of its leadership team with the appointment of David Swift as vice president, client account management, in the company’s Americas region.
Swift will report to Ed Ho, DXC’s regional head for Americas. He will join the company on Dec. 2.
Today’s appointment continues the company’s progress in augmenting its leadership team. Since Mike Salvino was named DXC’s president and CEO last month, the company now has made five appointments to address his key priorities of clients, people and operational execution.
Swift’s focus will be ensuring that DXC brings Americas clients the highest levels of customer care and responsiveness. Swift will use a program of client reviews to ensure that DXC is listening and intimately connecting with critical client priorities. A key goal will be to bring a renewed sense of partnership and responsiveness to clients in the region.
“I’m pleased to have a professional like David joining the team at DXC,” Salvino said. “The Americas region is our largest and is vitally important as we execute our growth agenda. With this appointment, we’re continuing to put our focus and resources on enhancing service to our clients.”
Swift previously served as chief service officer at Accolade, a provider of personalized health and benefits solutions. He led delivery of Accolade’s services to clients and customers, with a focus on delivering high standards of quality, value creation and unit economics during a period of strong growth for the company. Swift worked with the company’s largest and most strategic customers, leading a team of high-touch member-service resources.
Prior to Accolade, Swift served as an executive vice president at Aon Hewitt, leading the Outsourcing business unit and, later, the Innovation function. He also was a consulting manager at Accenture.
Swift holds a PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and a bachelor of science in chemical engineering from Clemson University.
Throw the Zurich Global AE on the pile.
He's neither a blacksmith or goldsmith. He's Santa Claus - he just says Ho Ho Ho all the time
Unfortunately need another 50 execs/managers leaving globally from L2 all the way to L5 - flatten the organisation and give the autonomy to the regions to run their client businesses..... this is the point where I wake up from my sleep.
Is he a blacksmith or goldsmith ?
Good for Sal to bring change at the top but company needs changing / reforming from top to bottom to improve the brand.
