OREANDA-NEWS. Cognizant has won key recognitions in the 2016 All-America Executive Team survey, Institutional Investor’s exclusive annual ranking of U.S. corporate leaders as seen through the eyes of investment professionals.

Cognizant won the following recognitions in the “Computer Services and IT Consulting” sector of the “Technology, Media and Telecommunications” category. (Access to ranking summaries requires free registration.)

Cognizant: Best Investor Relations Program (Overall): #1   |   Best Investor Relations Program (Buy Side): #1

Francisco D’Souza, CEO: Best CEO (Overall): #2   |   Best CEO (Buy Side): #1

Karen McLoughlin, CFO: Best CFO (Overall): #2   |   Best CFO (Buy Side): #2

David Nelson, Treasurer and VP, Investor Relations: Best IR Professional (Overall): #1   |   Best IR Professional (Buy Side): #1   |   Best IR Professional (Sell Side): #3

Institutional Investor asked portfolio managers and sell-side analysts to name the best CEOs, CFOs and investor relations professionals at the U.S. companies they cover, and to evaluate these businesses on their performance in eight IR attributes, including accessibility of senior management, quality and depth of answers to inquiries, transparency of financial reporting and disclosure, and so on. The overall rankings in each of the four categories—Best CEO, Best CFO, Best IR Professional and Best IR Company—are based on combined buy- and sell-side votes. Buy- and sell-side responses were analyzed separately to produce two distinct rankings for each of the four categories. The 2016 All-America Executive Team reflects the opinions of more than 2,040 investment professionals at close to 680 financial services firms. Respondents from the buy side work at firms that collectively manage an estimated $7.1 trillion in U.S. equities.
