New Delhi, Jan 3 (IANS): Tech Mahindra on Wednesday announced the appointment of Richard Lobo, former Infosys executive vice-president and head of human resources, as its chief people officer.

Lobo’s appointment comes as part of Tech Mahindra’s ongoing leadership restructuring under Managing Director and CEO Mohit Joshi.
