Ankur Anand

Chief Information Officer

Group Chief Information Officer with over 25 years of experience operating across large multinational and private equity‑owned businesses. I have led technology and operating model transformation in complex, multi‑country, highly matrixed environments across global banking, workforce solutions, and PE‑backed organisations. My experience spans value creation, M&A, carve‑outs, integration, and cost transformation, working closely with Boards, executive teams, and investors. I focus on turning technology, data, and AI into commercial leverage, improving productivity, margin, and decision‑making at scale. Currently, I am Group CIO and Executive Committee member at Harvey Nash, a PE‑backed global talent and technology consultancy. Here, I am reshaping the business model through a product‑led operating model, embedded AI, improved data quality, and an industry‑first candidate skills taxonomy. I take a pragmatic, outcomes‑led approach, grounded in pace, control of risk, and measurable return on investment.
