Accenture Appoints Manish Sharma to Lead Reinvention Services Division

Global IT services and consulting firm Accenture has announced a new leadership team for its Reinvention Services division, reflecting the company’s strategy to accelerate digital transformation and AI-driven innovation for clients worldwide.

The division will now be led by Manish Sharma, who currently serves as Accenture’s Chief Strategy and Services Officer. The new structure is designed to better align Accenture’s consulting capabilities with how modern organisations operate and transform their businesses.

Under this new structure, Accenture will organise its services into seven specialised units known as Reinvention Partners, enabling the company to deliver integrated and end-to-end solutions to clients across industries.

AI Driving the Need for Business Reinvention

Companies seeking faster transformation

The consulting giant believes that the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence and digital technologies is pushing organisations to rethink how they operate, innovate, and compete.

“As AI reshapes every industry, our clients want a partner that can help them reinvent—boldly, continuously and at speed,” said Julie Sweet, chair and CEO, Accenture.

“Our Reinvention Services leaders bring together the full breadth of Accenture to create solutions to our clients’ most complex problems and deliver more value faster, while continuously building the most client-focused, AI-enabled great place to work for our people—our Reinventors,” she said.

The restructuring is part of Accenture’s broader effort to expand its AI-enabled consulting and technology services, an area where global demand has surged significantly.

Introduction of Reinvention Engines

Strengthening skills, innovation and technology

Alongside the leadership overhaul, Accenture has introduced three Reinvention Engines, designed to strengthen specialised expertise and innovation capabilities within the company.

These engines will operate as integrated platforms for training, innovation, and advanced technology development.

The company described them as functioning like an elite university, an innovation laboratory, and an industrialisation powerhouse combined.

Three Reinvention Engines

AI and Data
Led by Lan Guan, Accenture’s Chief AI & Data Officer, this unit will develop and expand global capabilities in artificial intelligence and data analytics.

Industry and Process
Led by Jason Dess, this unit will focus on building deeper expertise in industry operations and processes while developing AI-enabled transformation methodologies.

Technology
Led by Rajendra Prasad, this unit will enhance Accenture’s advanced technology capabilities and expand training programs around modern technology stacks through the company’s global technology centers.

Client Success and Commercial Strategy

Strengthening customer focus

The new organisational design also includes a Client Success unit, aimed at ensuring that Accenture maintains a strong focus on client outcomes and business value.

The Commercial function, led by Shaheen Sayed, Accenture’s Chief Commercial Officer, will ensure that the company provides clients with the most appropriate solutions while developing collaborative commercial models.

Governance and delivery oversight

Additional leadership roles include:

• Offerings and Products led by Senthil Ramani in his role as Chief Offering and Product Officer

• Integrated delivery governance and quality led by David Golding

These functions will oversee global delivery capabilities and strengthen quality, consistency, and client outcomes across projects.

Leadership Perspective on Reinvention Strategy

Manish Sharma highlighted that the new organisational design reflects how businesses increasingly view transformation as a continuous process rather than a one-time initiative.

“Reinvention Services is designed entirely around how our clients think about their business issues and organise their operations, enabling us to deliver reinvention for them at greater scale and impact,” said Sharma. “This exceptional group of leaders integrates our industry depth, technology and AI expertise, ecosystem relationships, creativity and operational scale into one seamless experience for clients that drives measurable outcomes.”

Conclusion

The restructuring of the Reinvention Services division represents a significant step in Accenture’s strategy to strengthen its position as a global leader in AI-driven consulting and digital transformation. By introducing specialised leadership teams, Reinvention Partners, and innovation-focused Reinvention Engines, the company aims to deliver faster and more integrated solutions to clients navigating complex technological and business changes.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries, consulting firms like Accenture are evolving their organisational models to better support enterprise reinvention at scale. The new structure, which comes into effect on March 31, 2026, is expected to enhance Accenture’s ability to combine industry expertise, advanced technology, and operational scale to deliver measurable business outcomes for clients worldwide.
