DXC Announces Leadership Appointments to Accelerate Its AI-Centric Future

DXC Technology, a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, announced a series of leadership appointments effective immediately that position the next generation of AI-centric leadership at the forefront of the company and further streamline the organization for customers, partners, and employees.

Paul Taylor has been named President of DXC Technology, assuming the role from Raul Fernandez, who continues as Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Dan Gray has been appointed President of Global Infrastructure Services (GIS). Ramnath Venkataraman, President of Consulting & Engineering Services (CES), and Ray August, President of Insurance Software & Business Process Services (ISB), will continue to lead their businesses, with all three offering presidents reporting to Taylor. Chris Drumgoole, currently President of GIS, will depart DXC to take on an elevated leadership role outside the company and will join as a founding member of DXC's newly formed CEO Advisory Council.

The appointments build on the announcement of Holly Grant as President, AI Innovation and Strategy & LabX, DXC’s AI-native product incubation work and AI Platforms Engine, and a key growth driver of the company’s Fast Track strategy. Together, these moves mark a deliberate step in building the company's AI-centric future.

Paul Taylor — President, DXC Technology

As President, Taylor will lead DXC’s global operating business with end-to-end responsibility for customer growth, commercial execution, operational performance, profitability, and delivery across the company’s approximately $13 billion business, with commercial accountability across both DXC’s Core and Fast Track strategies. His remit spans DXC’s five geographic markets and its three global offering businesses, Global Infrastructure Services, Consulting & Engineering Services, and Insurance Software & Business Process Services. Bringing these organizations together under a single operating leader strengthens accountability, simplifies decision-making, and enables faster execution, allowing DXC to deliver greater value and innovation for customers around the world.

Taylor brings more than 30 years of technology and commercial leadership experience including in financial markets and enterprise technology. He was a partner at IHS Markit through a period of significant profitable growth and scale, culminating in its sale to S&P Global. Most recently, he founded and led HUB, an AI-driven financial technology business acquired by OSTTRA, where AI agents and workflow automation were central to the company’s operating model.

Dan Gray — President, Global Infrastructure Services

Gray is a senior DXC leader who has spent nineteen years at the company leading technology strategy and delivery for some of the company’s largest global customers in addition to enterprise IT as deputy CIO.

Most recently, as Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for GIS, he led Global Technical Customer Operations, a team of more than 45,000 technology professionals delivering infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, mainframe, workplace, and business process services for many of the world's largest enterprises. In that role, he co-led and provided technical leadership for the build and deployment of DXC OASIS, helping take the platform from concept to production in just over a year. As President of GIS, Gray will work closely with Taylor to sharpen the organization’s focus, accelerate growth through the adoption of AI powered services, and help DXC’s customers realize greater value from the mission-critical systems and services they depend on every day.

Chris Drumgoole — CEO Advisory Council

Drumgoole, who has led GIS as President, will depart DXC to take on a leadership role outside the company after many years of dedicated service. During his tenure, Drumgoole built a strong foundation for the GIS business and its customers. He will remain closely connected to DXC as a member of the CEO Advisory Council, where he will continue to advise Fernandez and members of the leadership team.
