DXC Technology has added another senior appointment to its leadership team with the arrival of T.R. Newcomb into the company’s newly created role of Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Announced in his new position yesterday with immediate effect, Newcomb (pictured below) will report directly to President and Chief Executive Officer, Raul Fernandez. Newcomb joins DXC from US fraud prevention specialist Riskified, where he was SVP of Strategy and Corporate Development.

Harvard graduate, Newcomb has a background in private equity and investment banking but is an interesting appointment as he appears to lack any experience of large IT services organisations or within a professional services setting. What Newcomb does have on his side however is that he is a known quantity as far as DXC’s CEO is concerned. Fernandez described Newcomb as “a proven, collaborative leader who I've worked with personally for over a decade at different companies."
As DXC’s new CRO, Newcombe will oversee DXC's global salesforce and will be singularly accountability for sales effectiveness. In this capacity he will be judged on his ability to expand the company's client footprint both within existing accounts and in respect of new logos. Meanwhile, with Fernandez now more than sixteen months into his own tenure and the company’s share price (c.$17) having declined more than 30% since his arrival, DXC’s CEO will no doubt be hoping that his old friend can somehow reverse the perpetual slide in revenues.
