Mumbai, Jan 11 (IANS) Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) hired former Citi executive Daniel Houghes Callahan, 62, as an additional and independent director for 5 years since Thursday, said the Indian IT bellwether on Friday.
"Callahan has been appointed as an additional and independent director on our board on the recommendation of the nomination and remunerative committee," said the city-based software behemoth in a statement here.

"Callahan is a transformative leader in driving strategic change across global organizations and dealing with multiple stakeholders in local and national governments and regulatory bodies," said the company in the statement.
Prior to joining Citi in 2007, Callahan held senior positions inAIBM Japan, Morgan Stanley, and Credit Suisse.
With Callahan onboard, TCS has 11 directors, including seven independents in the expanded board.
