engineering, additional depth in key verticals and an expanded
portfolio of digital offerings.
“With Luxoft, DXC will cover the full spectrum of

IT systems to delivering transformational digital solutions at
scale,” said Mike Lawrie, DXC’s chairman, president and CEO.
“Luxoft’s proven success for global clients creates new value and
benefits for all DXC stakeholders. I want to welcome the Luxoft
team to the DXC family.”
As announced previously, Luxoft will continue to be led by
Dmitry Loschinin, who will report to Lawrie. Luxoft has a

Services, and clients in these areas are expected to benefit
immediately.

people, clients and partners,” Loschinin said. “Going forward, it’s
the best of both worlds: DXC provides the scale, resources and
