In a corporate re-structuring endeavor, Dexterity has announced the appointment of Palanivel Kuppusamy as the new chairman and CEO of the company, while the former chairman and CEO, Anantha Krishnan, will move into a strategic advisor role.
Having founded Dexterity in 1999, Palanivel was the company's executive chairman and CEO until Krishnan's entry in early 2008.
"Although he is moving into an advisor role, the momentum we have set will enable the company to grow aggressively," said Kuppusamy.
"While I collaborate with Dexterity as an advisor, I am also looking forward to helping the industry build complementary capabilities to make India the destination of choice for the Marketing and Customer Informatics business," said Krishnan.
Palanivel is a management postgraduate from IIM Indore and an engineering graduate from the Government College of Technology (GCT), Coimbatore. Prior to Dexterity, he handled assignments with market research industry leaders like A C Nielsen and NMR. He has worked with Dun & Bradstreet's software business and Cognizant Technology Solutions.
