CA appoints Amit Chatterjee as Country Manager

Mumbai: CA announced that IT veteran Amit Chatterjee has been appointed VP-Area Sales and Country Manager, CA India, effective May 4, 2009.

Bringing more than 22 years' industry experience to the company, Chatterjee will report to Gavin Selkirk, Corporate Sr VP and GM-Asia Pacific and Japan, CA and will execute regional strategies.

It follows the appointments of Indian IT statesmen Saurabh Srivastava as CA India Chairman, and William Bauman as Sr VP & GM-India Technology Center in Hyderabad.

Chatterjee previously was Head of Alliances for HP Software across Asia-Pacific and Japan after serving as HP Software's India Country Leader for more than seven years. Earlier in his career, he spent two years with Microland and 11 years with HCL Infosystems. He holds a BE (Mechanical) degree from NIT (then VRCE) Nagpur and an MDP from XLRI, Jamshedpur.

“India holds tremendous potential for CA in terms of market expansion and partnership opportunities, and as a source of research and development, so I am delighted that we have been able to recruit an industry veteran of Amit's caliber to be India Country Manager,” said Selkirk. “This, our third major appointment in India in just over two months, places CA India in an excellent position to pursue our R&D, sales and business development objectives,” he added.

Chatterjee succeeds Ninad Karpe, who left CA earlier this year after 11 years with the company to take up a leadership position in a global training organization.
