Commenting on the leadership change in Infosys Australia, Ebeyan said “The past five years have been a challenging and rewarding experience for me. The company has gone from strength to strength in every year of operation in Australia and has had phenomenal growth in revenues, profits and clients. I leave the company knowing that the future has never looked brighter for it. I thank the Infosys Technologies management for putting their trust in me over the past five years, and wish the company, its employees and my successor Jackie all the very best for the future.”
