Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced Sudeep Kunnumal as the chief human resources officer (CHRO) designate effective from March 14.

He will succeed Milind Lakkad in the role, who is stepping away citing superannuation.

Kunnumal has been with the IT services giant from 2000, and currently heads the HR function for the Banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) vertical, which accounts for nearly 35-40% of TCS' revenue.

Throughout his 25-year stint with the company, he has worked in various HR leadership positions in North America, Europe, and APAC which helped him gain experience and contribute across the entire spectrum of the HR employee life cycle in these markets, the company said in an exchange filing.

He had led enterprise-wide changes in TCS management over the years strengthening the Company's approach to talent integration, ensuring seamless transitions during onboarding, mergers, and acquisitions.

"In the domains of talent management and leadership development, he has partnered closely with business leaders to identify, nurture, and retain high-potential talent. By leveraging advanced technologies and AI. he has implemented dynamic talent marketplace solutions in BFSI that optimize resource deployment, improve agility, and unlock untapped potential within the workforce," TCS said.

He has also set a Guinness World Record through the global programming contest, CodeVita, an initiative that reshaped campus hiring practices.

He holds a masters degree in Human Resource Management, from Madurai Kamaraj University.
