Accenture (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACN">ACN</a>) today announced its new leadership team for Reinvention Services, which is led by Manish Sharma, Accenture's Chief Strategy and Services Officer. These leaders are part of the company's implementation of a new design for Reinvention Services that will enable Accenture to create more leading solutions faster and embed data and AI more easily into its solutions and delivery. These changes are effective March 31, 2026.


Accenture is organizing its services around how its clients operate and will bring its clients end-to-end solutions, including with its ecosystem, through seven units called Reinvention Partners. Reinvention Partners are responsible for helping clients reinvent. The Reinvention Partners and their leaders are:

<ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistdisc">
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Cybersecurity, led by Harpreet Sidhu, which will help clients reinvent cyber-resilience and value through trust-building defenses, protecting enterprises, managing risk and enabling emerging technologies.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Digital Core, led by Ajoy Menon, which will help clients reinvent their digital foundations—including technology strategy and architecture, data and AI, modernizing and managing applications, infrastructure, data and cloud.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Finance, led by Arundhati Chakraborty, which will help clients reinvent financial performance by supporting the CFO agenda—driving best-in-class performance and delivering insights and benchmarking across the enterprise. Chakraborty will also lead Accenture's practice helping clients create global capability centers.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Industry and Enterprise, led by Muqsit Ashraf, which will help clients reinvent core industry value chains and drive end-to-end, cross-functional reinvention to deliver growth and long-term value.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

</li>

</li>
</ul>
The new design also includes three Reinvention Engines, which are how Accenture will develop stronger, more specialized skills; the most AI-enabled ways of delivering its services; cutting-edge innovation, and the most advanced tools and methods. Together, the Reinvention Engines will work as an elite university, the world's best innovation lab and a powerhouse of industrialization all rolled into one.


While the Reinvention Partners are where Accenture helps its clients reinvent, the Reinvention Engines are where Accenture reinvents itself. The Reinvention Engines and their leaders are:

<ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistdisc">

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Industry and Process, led by Jason Dess, which will build and scale even deeper industry and process expertise, establish industry and process training across Accenture, and develop AI-enabled methods to transform enterprises, such as AI-enabled ERP methods and ART, the company's proprietary reinvention methodology, powered by Accenture's Intelligent Operations Centers and Global Network Centers.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Technology, led by Rajendra Prasad, which will build and scale advanced technology capabilities, advance technology training across Accenture, and develop the latest modern technology stacks, powered by Accenture Technology Centers.

</li>
</ul>
Lastly, the design of Reinvention Services includes Client Success, a unit designed to ensure Accenture stays relentlessly focused on its clients, comprising:

<ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" class="bwlistdisc">
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Commercial, led by Shaheen Sayed, Accenture's Chief Commercial Officer, which will ensure that Accenture sells clients what they truly need, brings the full strength of Accenture to every solution and creates win-win commercial models, as well as seeks and acts on client feedback and develops and supports client account leads.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Offerings and Products, led by Senthil Ramani, Chief Offerings and Product Officer, which will oversee the development of differentiated offerings and products aligned to evolving client needs.

</li>
<li xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Integrated Delivery Governance and Integrated Quality, led by David Golding, which will be responsible for delivering client outcomes through Accenture's global delivery capabilities and strengthening quality and consistency across engagements.

</li>
</ul>
"As AI reshapes every industry, our clients want a partner that can help them reinvent—boldly, continuously and at speed," said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture. "Our Reinvention Services leaders bring together the full breadth of Accenture to create solutions to our clients' most complex problems and deliver more value faster, while continuously building the most client-focused, AI-enabled great place to work for our people—our Reinventors."


"Reinvention Services is designed entirely around how our clients think about their business issues and organize their operations, enabling us to deliver reinvention for them at greater scale and impact," said Sharma. "This exceptional group of leaders integrates our industry depth, technology and AI expertise, ecosystem relationships, creativity and operational scale into one seamless experience for clients that drives measurable outcomes."
