Deepak Sogani is WNS Chief Financial Officer

BPO major WNS today said it has appointed Deepak Sogani as the group Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

Sogani's appointment is effective December 3, 2012.

He will be responsible for WNS's global finance function, and will report directly to WNS Group CEO Keshav Murugesh, WNS said in a statement.

"We are pleased to welcome Deepak to the WNS team, and believe his unique combination of capability and experience will be a tremendous asset to the company," Murugesh said.

His track record as a CFO and knowledge of the offshore services space will make Deepak an excellent fit to lead the finance function as WNS continues to grow and evolve, he added.

Sogani replaces Alok Misra, who had resigned in July this year to return to Bangalore.

WNS Corporate Senior Vice President (Finance) Kumar Subramaniam was serving as the interim CFO from August 17.

An engineer from IIT, Delhi and an MBA from IIM, Ahmedabad, Sogani has over 20 years of experience in finance and business management.

He joins WNS from Dalmia Bharat, the holding company of a diversified group, where he was designated as an Executive Director reporting to the Group CEO.

Prior to Dalmia, Sogani held CFO positions at Times Internet Ltd, Sutherland Global Services Ltd and Patni Computer Systems Ltd, the statement said.
