ASHBURN, Va., July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading enterprise technology and innovation partner, today announced a series of leadership appointments effective immediately that position the next generation of AI-centric leadership at the forefront of the company and further streamline the organization for customers, partners, and employees.

The appointments build on the announcement of Holly Grant as President, AI Innovation and Strategy & LabX, DXC's AI-native product incubation work and AI Platforms Engine, and a key growth driver of the company's Fast Track strategy. Together, these moves mark a deliberate step in building the company's AI-centric future.

"These appointments put new AI-centric leadership front and center at DXC and accelerate our dual Core and Fast Track strategy," said Raul Fernandez, Chief Executive Officer, DXC Technology.

Together, they will accelerate the momentum we've created for our customers, with our partners, and for our people. I also want to congratulate Chris on earning an exciting new opportunity and thank him for his years of dedicated service and leadership. I'm proud of what he has accomplished and pleased he will continue to contribute as a founding member of our new CEO Advisory Council."

Paul Taylor — President, DXC Technology

As President, Taylor will lead DXC's global operating business with end-to-end responsibility for customer growth, commercial execution, operational performance, profitability, and delivery across the company's approximately $13 billion business, with commercial accountability across both DXC's Core and Fast Track strategies. His remit spans DXC's five geographic markets and its three global offering businesses, Global Infrastructure Services, Consulting & Engineering Services, and Insurance Software & Business Process Services. Bringing these organizations together under a single operating leader strengthens accountability, simplifies decision-making, and enables faster execution, allowing DXC to deliver greater value and innovation for customers around the world.

Taylor brings more than 30 years of technology and commercial leadership experience including in financial markets and enterprise technology. He was a partner at IHS Markit through a period of significant profitable growth and scale, culminating in its sale to S&P Global. Most recently, he founded and led HUB, an AI-driven financial technology business acquired by OSTTRA, where AI agents and workflow automation were central to the company's operating model.

"DXC has an exceptional customer base, great people with deep technical capabilities, and a unique opportunity to help many of the world's largest organizations modernize and transform through AI," said Taylor. "By bringing our markets and global offerings together under one operating organization, we can move faster, execute more effectively, and deliver greater value for our customers. Our focus will be on driving sustainable revenue growth, strengthening customer partnerships, delivering operational excellence, and creating measurable business outcomes for our customers. I'm excited to work alongside our teams around the world as we build on DXC's strengths and unlock the next phase of value creation for our customers, employees, and shareholders."

Chris Drumgoole — CEO Advisory Council

Drumgoole, who has led GIS as President, will depart DXC to take on a leadership role outside the company after many years of dedicated service.

HONG KONG, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Wipro Consumer Care International (WCCI), the FMCG division of Wipro Enterprises, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shareholding in S Brands Consumer Care Inc. (S Brands), a leading personal care company in the Philippines.

Mr. Nagender Arya, President East Asia, COO-International Business, Wipro Consumer Care (Third from left) and Mr. Dick Sy Ong, Founder and President of S Brands (Third from right) made an official acquisition announcement.

This is Wipro Consumer Care International's second strategic acquisition in the Philippines, following the acquisition of Splash Corporation in 2019, one of the country's most iconic personal care companies with brands such as SkinWhite, Maxi-Peel and Vitress. This acquisition further strengthens Wipro's personal care portfolio and reinforces its leadership position across Southeast Asia.

S Brands is a well-established player in the Philippine personal care market. Its portfolio includes trusted and category leading brands such as KERATINplus, the country's No. 1 hair treatment brand; AlcoPlus, one of the most trusted hygiene brands; DeoPlus, a fast-growing leader in powder deodorants; Empress, an emerging hair care brand; Grips, a leading men's grooming line; and Fiona Cologne, a leading teens' fragrance brand. Together, these brands have built strong consumer loyalty and hold leading positions in their respective categories.

Wipro Consumer Care International has a strong presence across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, operating in more than 60 markets. Its key markets include India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, South of Mainland China region and Hong Kong SAR.

Mr. Nagender Arya, President East Asia & COO, Wipro Consumer Care International, said: "This acquisition is an important milestone in our journey to become one of Asia's leading personal care companies. As our 16th strategic acquisition, it reinforces our long-term commitment to the Philippines following the acquisition of Splash Corporation in 2019. It also reflects our continued focus on investing in high-growth emerging markets. The Philippines is the fourth-largest personal care market in Southeast Asia, with a young and growing consumer base. It offers significant opportunities across hair care, skin care, fragrance, and hygiene. We also see strong potential to take KERATINplus and other S Brands products into new international markets."

Hong Kong and mainland China's FMCG markets hold immense growth potential and represent a core strategic focus for our business. We keep sourcing high-quality personal care brands across other markets that align with evolving consumer demands. S Brands features a distinctive brand identity, and we are delighted to introduce it to our markets. Moving forward, we will allocate additional resources to support the brand's growth.」 Mr. Nagender added.

Mr. Dick Sy Ong, Founder and President of S Brands, said: "S Brands is growing and we're ready to reach more people in more markets. Wipro has the track record and global reach to help make that happen. And with their proven R&D and innovation, we can give even more to our customers. Wipro is big, yet I see their leadership team is still grounded. They have the heart and concern for what they do, and it's in their culture to give back to communities. We believe in the same thing."

Mr. Amit Kumar Dawn, Incoming Chief Executive of S Brands, shared: "This acquisition strengthens our position in the Philippines and opens up new opportunities for growth. KERATINplus is the market-leading hair treatment brand with strong consumer loyalty, an extensive distribution network, and excellent brand equity. The addition of S Brands further strengthens the Group's overall portfolio in the Philippines, providing an even stronger platform to accelerate growth, build stronger brands, improve operational efficiencies, and create long-term value.
