– FRANCE, Montigny-le-Bretonneux – Expleo Group today announced the appointment of Rajesh Murthy (Rajesh Krishnamurthy) as new the group CEO, succeeding Olivier Aldrin, who is pursuing opportunities outside of the group, as of July 15, 2020.
Expleo, formerly known as Assystem Technologies and SQS, relaunched last year after a series of acquisitions, creating a unique technology partner combining engineering, software quality services and management consulting to accompany its clients in their digital transformation. This strategic move answered the changing needs of a global market where engineering and software have come together.
With the appointment of Rajesh Krishnamurthy as CEO, Expleo will accelerate its strategic transformation roadmap, with a strong focus on digitalizing its services and scaling its global delivery capabilities.
The Supervisory Board commented: “The Supervisory Board would like to extend its warmest thanks to Olivier Aldrin for his tremendous commitment over the past three years and in particular his excellent work in growing Expleo to a team of 15,000 well-recognized experts, operating in 30 countries. Olivier was instrumental in creating the new Expleo via a series of acquisitions that helped the group develop its service portfolio towards a unique end-to-end offering.”
“Whilst Expleo entered the Covid-19 crisis on solid operational and financial grounds, the pandemic created major long-term disruptions, notably in its legacy engineering automotive and aerospace markets. To meet these challenges that also come with new opportunities and to progress Expleo’s development roadmap, we have looked for a leader with an international background and the experience to drive the transformation of the organization. Rajesh has a deep knowledge of Expleo’s markets, across engineering, quality and consulting services. He brings a unique combination of technology know-how developed in operational and senior management roles, and business acumen. He has our complete confidence to lead the group in this new chapter.”
