Genpact appoints new execs for Americas, Middle East biz

BPO company Genpact today said it has appointed Scott McConnell as senior vice president and operating leader for the Americas region and Vishal Pandit as senior vice president for the Middle East region.

These strategic appointments support the company's plan for driving growth in the respective regions and continuing to expand its services for its clients around the world, Genpact said in a statement.

As the Middle East is one of the fastest-growing emerging markets in the world and has been diversifying beyond its oil-based economy, Pandit will build a strategy to help Genpact develop a strong footprint in this region.

He will work closely with other Genpact business leaders to build client relationships within targeted industry sectors in the Middle East.

"With their proven leadership skills, global perspective and vision, Scott and Vishal are key to driving the strategy in these important regions so that we can further drive operational effectiveness for our clients in this ever-changing economic climate," Genpact President and CEO Pramod Bhasin said.

Genpact manages over 4,000 processes for more than 400 clients worldwide.
