Chhetri’s appointment reinforces CGI’s focus on client proximity and its commitment to enabling clients to set up, scale, and transform their GCCs, leveraging its global delivery model and decades of experience to create sustained value from their investments.

“I’m honoured to take on this role at a time when GCCs are redefining their purpose and value for the enterprise. Today, clients are evolving from execution to orchestration and want GCCs that can modernise platforms, use AI responsibly, and create lasting enterprise value. We look forward to helping clients evolve their GCCs into strategic hubs that support their global operations,” said Gopal Chhetri.

As the GCC leader, Chhetri will focus on expanding CGI’s GCC business, and scaling capabilities across digital engineering, cloud and AI, as well as talent development, leadership pipelines, collaboration and market-ready delivery blueprints.
