Dallas, Texas, USA, September 2025 — Anand Shanmugham has taken on the role of Managing Director, Sales – North America at ANSR, marking a significant leadership expansion for the global GCC solutions provider. In his new role, Anand will spearhead the company’s North America growth strategy, focusing on strengthening enterprise relationships, expanding strategic partnerships, and driving large-scale adoption of ANSR’s Global Capability Center (GCC) model across diverse industries. With more than two decades of experience in technology services, digital transformation, and global account leadership, Anand brings deep expertise in building high-impact enterprise portfolios.
Anand’s journey at Wipro Limited forms the core of his recent leadership experience. As Vice President and Sector Head – Retail, Services & Transportation, he led major digital transformation programs, managed multi-million-dollar global portfolios, and drove strategic customer engagements across the United States. His earlier leadership as Global Head – Transportation & Logistics Vertical further strengthened his reputation for delivering value-driven digital solutions to top enterprises.
Before Wipro, Anand spent a significant part of his career at NTT DATA Americas, where he served as Vice President – Banking & Financial Services and later as Vice President – Business Development (Strategic Growth Accounts). He managed large enterprise clients across the East Coast, led cross-functional global delivery teams, drove P&L growth, and established new offshore development centers. His work with top U.S. banking institutions helped diversify portfolios and expand service lines across geographies and business units.
Anand’s earlier professional foundation was built through impactful roles at Cognizant Technology Solutions and Silverline Technologies, where he strengthened client partnerships and scaled regional business development functions. His early experience at Infosys—in the North East sales portfolio—gave him a strong start in enterprise technology sales and client relationship management.
With a career spanning transformational leadership, enterprise sales, and strategic account management, Anand has consistently demonstrated an ability to unlock growth, build long-term client relationships, and drive digital-first business outcomes. His appointment strengthens ANSR’s vision of enabling global enterprises to build and scale technology, innovation, and capability centers efficiently and sustainably.
