Infosys on Friday said it has appointed Parvatheesam Kanchinadham as its chief compliance officer in place of Nithyanandan Radhakrishnan, who has resigned from the company.
Radhakrishnan was among three senior employees who had been promoted to the company’s executive council in August last year soon after NR Narayana Murthy returned to steer the company as executive chairman.
The executive council, however, was disbanded earlier this year as Infosys chose a different organisational structure.
?On April 15, 2014, the board appointed Parvatheesam Kanchinadham, an executive officer of the company, as the chief compliance officer. In this role, Kanchinadham also acts as the ombudsman to the whistleblower policy. This is following the resignation of Nithyanandan Radhakrishnan as the chief compliance officer,? the company said in a regulatory filing to the stock exchanges. Kanchinadham is also Infosys’ company secretary.
Radhakrishnan ? who served as a senior vice president and general counsel between April 2012 and August 2013 when he was promoted ? is understood to have left Infosys to start a venture of his own.
He joined the firm in December 1998 and led its legal department till July 2007. Infosys has seen a string of top level exits in the past year, the latest being Chandrashekar Kakal, a senior vice president who quit in late March. Before Kakal, at least eight senior executives had left the company since June.
