Global IT services firm DXC Technology has appointed Ken Corless as executive vice president for offerings and strategic partners.
Corless, who recently served as chief technology officer (CTO) for Deloitte’s Cloud Practice, will report to Mike Salvino, DXC’s president and chief executive officer. The appointment of Corless represents the eighth addition to Salvino’s senior leadership team since he became CEO in September last year.
In his role, Corless will oversee DXC’s key offerings, including cloud and platform services, security, analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), application services and enterprise cloud and applications. He will also be responsible for relationships with DXC’s ecosystem partners, which include industry leaders in cloud, enterprise applications and software, networking and hardware.
Corless will work with DXC’s strategic partners to identify collaborative go-to-market offerings and help establish the business case for investments from both DXC and the partners themselves, said the company.
“Ken will help us innovate, optimise and standardise our offerings to deliver differentiated solutions across the enterprise technology stack,” Salvino said. “In the IT industry today, teaming is critical to delivering for our customers and Ken has a proven track record of developing industry leading partnerships that produce results.”
Corless has over 30 years of experience in client-facing roles in the IT industry. As CTO at Deloitte’s Cloud Practice, he was responsible for evangelising the use of cloud at enterprise scale, prioritising Deloitte’s investment in cloud assets, analysing acquisition targets and driving technology partnerships in the ecosystem.
Prior to Deloitte, he spent more than 28 years at Accenture in various roles including technology global managing partner, executive director for enterprise applications and managing director for technology and architecture.
Last August, DXC acquired Syscom, a leading ServiceNow partner in the Nordics, to extend the reach and scale of its security operations and service management capabilities in the region.
