DXC Rewires Its Leadership Bench for an AI-Centric Future

DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) has named Paul Taylor President of the company and appointed Dan Gray President of Global Infrastructure Services, a set of moves — effective immediately — designed to put next-generation, AI-centric leadership at the front of the business and streamline the organization for customers, partners, and employees.

Taylor assumes the President role from Raul Fernandez, who continues as Chief Executive Officer. Ramnath Venkataraman, President of Consulting & Engineering Services (CES), and Ray August, President of Insurance Software & Business Process Services (ISB), will keep leading their businesses, with all three offering presidents now reporting to Taylor. Chris Drumgoole, currently President of GIS, will depart DXC for an elevated leadership role outside the company and join as a founding member of the newly formed DXC CEO Advisory Council.

The appointments build on the earlier 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, the changes mark a deliberate step in building DXC's AI-centric future.

These appointments put new AI-centric leadership front and center at DXC and accelerate our dual Core and Fast Track strategy. Paul's entrepreneurial mindset is exactly what we need to unify our commercial and operating organizations so we can fully leverage our world-class technology and execute with greater speed, accountability and customer focus. — Raul Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer, DXC Technology

One Operating Leader for a $13 Billion Business

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 the 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. Pulling these organizations under a single operating leader is intended to strengthen accountability, simplify decision-making, and enable faster execution.

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 operating model.

By bringing our markets and global offerings together under one operating organization, we can move faster, execute more effectively, and deliver greater value for our customers. Our focus will be on driving sustainable revenue growth, strengthening customer partnerships, delivering operational excellence, and creating measurable business outcomes for our customers. — Paul Taylor, President, DXC Technology

A 45,000-Strong Infrastructure Engine Gets a New Chief

Dan Gray, a senior DXC leader with nineteen years at the company, steps up to lead GIS. He has spent his tenure driving technology strategy and delivery for some of DXC's largest global customers, in addition to serving as deputy CIO for enterprise IT.

Most recently, as Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for GIS, Gray 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, taking the platform from concept to production in just over a year. As President of GIS, he will work closely with Taylor to sharpen the organization's focus and accelerate growth through AI-powered services.

Departing GIS President Chris Drumgoole built a strong foundation for the business and its customers during his tenure. He will stay connected to DXC through the CEO Advisory Council, continuing to advise Fernandez and members of the leadership team.

Why Marketers Should Pay Attention

For anyone selling into or partnering with large enterprises, this reshuffle is a signal of where DXC is placing its bets: consolidating five markets and three offering units under a single operating leader, elevating an AI incubation unit (LabX) to president level, and staffing the top ranks with leaders whose recent track record is building AI-native products and agent-driven workflows — a template martech and enterprise-tech vendors are increasingly being measured against.
