Industry veteran Roy Stansbury brings a proven track record of transformative organizational success to his newly created position. Stansbury acquired his global expertise by managing organizations and personnel across cultures, and living and working in Asia, Australia, Europe, India, Africa and North America. He served as Chief Operating Officer, Kanbay International, an IT delivery organization with operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong and India.

Krithika Kumar, who commands deep Banking knowledge and technical expertise, will lead clients through Go-Live Faster’s innovative “Ideation to Adoption” process to create and deploy IT solutions that measurably advance clients’ business priorities. This approach uses productized solutions for effective technology implementations and specific metrics to measure solution value, quality and customer satisfaction.
