Logica, the European IT and business services company, has appointed
Jean-Marc Lazzari into the position of Chief Executive, Outsourcing
Services who will be based in Paris.
Previously vice-president and general manager of Unisys Continental
Europe, Lazzari will be responsible for Logica’s global Outsourcing
Services business which operates in 10 countries and employs 9,000
people. The division takes end-to-end responsibility for outsourcing
services, ensuring that customers have access to the most efficient and
cost effective blend of onshore, nearshore and offshore support.
In his previous role at Unisys Lazzari was responsible for the
company’s full Continental European portfolio. He drove the turnaround
transformation that brought the region back to profitable growth. This
included the introduction of a strong matrix organisation, which
allowed the company to operate effectively across its 17 European
countries, and a special focus on securing a number of transformational
outsourcing deals. Prior to this, Lazzari was head of IBM’s Global HR
solutions practice and vice president of IBM’s Business Consulting
Services for the EMEA West region. These businesses achieved consistent
above-market growth while successfully integrating organisations such
as the consulting practice of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, blending
consulting with systems integration and outsourcing.
Lazzari will join Logica in late August and will report to
Logica’s CEO, Andy Green. He will replace Jim McKenna. As previously
announced, McKenna will leave Logica in the second half of the year to
pursue a portfolio of interests.
