Financial Chronicle: A Profile of Cognizant CEO who has “Driven the Company to Record Heights”

“At a time when the tech czars have turned taciturn and weak to boot, D’Souza has driven the company around to record heights and overwhelming valuations with breakneck cadence. As a result, the company’s revenue has increased to $7 billion today, from almost $1.4 billion when he took over, at a growth rate of around 35 per cent,” writes Financial Chronicle in a special profile of Cognizant CEO, Francisco D’Souza.

The paper adds, “Analysts and industry experts say, 44-year old CEO of Cognizant is as difficult to pin down as the company, which is more or less, a mix of low-margin strategy, reinvesting over a long time, a seductive clash of the abilities to draw clients with stable growth plans and pricing discipline, a tightly woven fabric of suave game plan, dynamic and flexible.”

The paper adds, “With his every move, he seems to tell us, focus does not mean saying yes to the things you have to focus on, but saying no to hundred other good ideas that are there and pick carefully.”
