Former LafargeHolcim Head - IT Service Management and Strategy, Kapil Pal will now hold the strings as IT head for United Breweries (UB). He will replace Ramakrishnan Sudarshanam who retired from the company recently.
The appointment comes at a time all industries are going through a turbulent phase with COVID-19 scare Pal started at UB on March 20, the day before the Indian government announced a curfew to combat the spread of Covid-19.
According to sources at the company, Pal’s first priority will be to arrange safe remote working for the company’s employees. Operating out of Bangalore, Pal will be reporting to the UB’s Group CFO, Berend Odink.
Prior to joining UB, Pal was with LafargeHolcim, where he had recently moved to a global role. He also headed the company’s APAC region IT services and worked with the company for 4.5 years. Pal with more than 27 years of expertise with a thorough understanding of the FMCG domain, worked at with DXC Technology (CSC), PepsiCo, Aegis (StarTek), Global Vantedge and Microland, before joining LafargeHolcim.
