Mastech Digital, Inc., a prominent player in the digital transformation services sector, has made a significant announcement regarding its leadership transition. Effective April 14, 2025, Kannan Sugantharaman will take over the role of Chief Financial and Operations Officer, succeeding Jack Cronin, who steps down following an impressive 27-year tenure.
Sugantharaman arrives at Mastech Digital with a wealth of experience, having previously served as the Chief Financial Officer at Omega Healthcare Management Services. His extensive background also includes a notable stint as CFO for Global Delivery Operations at Cognizant Technology Solutions. Sugantharaman’s track record is marked by strategic efficiency improvements and robust financial management, making him an ideal fit for Mastech Digital as it gears up for future growth.
As CFO, Sugantharaman will oversee a broad spectrum of global financial operations, including financial planning, accounting, reporting, and compliance. His dual role as Chief Operations Officer will further enhance operational efficiencies across the company’s global functions. The integration of these responsibilities is expected to foster a cohesive strategy that drives both financial and operational excellence.
Nirav Patel, President and CEO of Mastech Digital, expressed his optimism about Sugantharaman’s appointment, stating, "Kannan is joining Mastech Digital at a pivotal time, as we embark on our transformation into a Data and AI-led technology services company. His deep expertise in finance and operational leadership will be instrumental in driving growth, efficiency, and global expansion."

His commitment and company-first mindset have left a lasting impact. We wish him all the very best in his next chapter."

His leadership has significantly shaped the company’s financial structure and operational framework, helping it navigate through the complexities of the tech landscape.
Although Jack Cronin will officially step down, he will assist in a smooth transition until May 30, 2025, ensuring Sugantharaman is equipped to lead effectively.
