Manish Sharma — CEO
I am the Chief Strategy and Services Officer at Accenture, a global professional services company that helps leaders around the world reinvent their enterprises through technology and human ingenuity. In this capacity, I have the great privilege of working with some of the most talented leaders and teams, both within Accenture as well as at our clients and partners organizations, to drive change that helps businesses perform better and deliver value to all stakeholders. I’m a strong believer in data and AI and have seen first-hand how connecting data, processes, and people across the enterprise can enable leaders to run their businesses in ways that weren’t possible before. We’ve done this at Accenture as part of our Total Enterprise Reinvention and my teams and I are working with clients every day to help reinvent every part of their businesses using technology, data, and AI so they can stay ahead of market changes and create 360° value for their people, clients, and business. Throughout my career, I have placed strong emphasis on people and empowering a diverse and inclusive workforce with the right tools, data, and processes to enable them to deliver value while feeling valued. I truly believe these are essential ingredients for improving the way businesses operate and how the world works and lives. I also founded the Rural ‘impact sourcing’ program, where Accenture partners with small business process services firms based in rural areas to provide employment opportunities to qualified youths, improving their standard of living and financial independence, and paving the way for long-term success. When I have free time outside of my work at Accenture and my foundation, I enjoy reading history and practicing yoga.
