Infosys is reshaping its governance slate with the addition of a new independent director and the renewal of an existing one, signaling a continued focus on technology leadership and strategic transformation. The company announced the appointment of Diane Enberg Jurgens as an Independent Director, effective April 22, 2026 for a three-year term, subject to shareholder approval. In parallel, Helene Auriol Potier has been re-appointed as an Independent Director for a new five-year term from May 26, 2026 to May 25, 2031, also subject to shareholder approval. The moves come on the back of recommendations from Infosys’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee and will be formalized in the company’s broader governance framework.
Diane Enberg Jurgens brings a global, technology-driven leadership profile to Infosys. A strategic board member and technologist, she has held P&L leadership roles and driven digital transformation across multiple industries. She currently serves on the boards of Standard Chartered and World 50, and previously led enterprise technology as Chief Information Officer for The Walt Disney Company (2020–2023). Her experience spans leadership in autonomous systems, cybersecurity, machine learning, and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) during her tenure at BHP, as well as executive roles with GM and its international operations. Her background has earned recognition, including the Shanghai Magnolia Award and a listing among the Top 10 Women in Technology.
Infosys’ leadership also welcomed Helene Auriol Potier back to the board for a second five-year term. The company noted that Potier, who serves as an independent director, has no reported relationship with other directors on the Infosys Board, reinforcing governance independence. A profile of Potier is available on Infosys’s website, underscoring the company’s commitment to an experienced and diverse board tasked with guiding the firm’s AI-forward, digitally driven strategy. In discussing the appointments, D. Sundaram, Lead Independent Director and Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, emphasized the value Diane Jurgens brings in technology, sustainability, and global business transformation, while Nandan Nilekani expressed his confidence in the broad leadership experience she adds to Infosys.
Infosys continues to position its board to steer a company that has long positioned itself at the intersection of cloud, AI, and digital services, aiming to sustain growth and reinforce governance through experienced independent perspectives.
