In light of North American expansion plans, Kumar Parakala will be relocating from Sydney, Australia to Chicago, United States in January 2020 in his role as President of GHD Digital.
In a short timeframe, GHD Digital has become a leading provider of digital transformation services to clients in the key markets of Australia, Asia-Pacific, North America, the UK and Middle East. Over the last 12 months, the team in the North American region has grown rapidly to become our largest team globally.
GHD Digital is the fast-growing digital transformation and technology engine of GHD, a global professional services company, with specialisms in digital strategy, innovative thinking, data intelligence and analytics, cybersecurity and smart communities.
In 2017, GHD Digital began operations with less than 20 employees. Today as we come to the end of 2019, we have a network of more than 500 technology experts across the globe.
The strategic move highlights the importance of Mr. Parakala’s engagement with our major clients and to connect global capabilities to support our North American clients and take advantage of the tremendous growth available to us.
“Over the next few years, GHD Digital aspires to be the most in demand agent of digital transformation in our industry,” said Mr. Parakala. “While I continue to support the expansion of the global digital business, this move will help us to enhance our collaboration with innovative start-up communities, technology companies and strategic alliance partners based in the Silicon Valley, Toronto and other key locations.”
Mr. Parakala joined the GHD Group in 2017 with the objective of expanding GHD’s digital and technology services, to help clients realise digital transformation priorities. Under his leadership, GHD Digital has built teams in all key markets with more than 50% of its digital population based in North America.
