Sopra Steria has announced the appointment of Rajesh Krishnamurthy as its new Group Chief Executive Officer. In this role, Rajesh will lead the Group’s global strategic direction and oversee the acceleration of its digital transformation agenda as the company continues to expand its position in technology consulting and digital services. He officially took up the role on 2 February 2026.
Before joining Sopra Steria, Krishnamurthy most recently served as Chief Executive Officer of Expleo Group, where he led a broad transformation program that strengthened the company’s European footprint and accelerated its shift toward digital engineering and AI-enabled services. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at CMA CGM and spent a long tenure at Infosys across strategic and operational positions. His background spans technology, consulting, large-scale transformation, and international business leadership.
Why this matters: This appointment signals Sopra Steria’s intent to pair its next phase of growth with a leader who has already run large-scale transformation programs in adjacent digital and engineering services environments. Bringing in a CEO from Expleo suggests a sharper focus on execution, European scale, and the ability to translate digital transformation demand into sustained strategic growth.
