NTT DATA announced the appointment of Jafar Kuruniyan as the new CFO for its Middle East and Africa (MEA) operations. Jafar succeeds Barry Curtin, who steps down after 16 years of distinguished service with the NTT Group, including 12 years as CFO in the region.
Jafar is a seasoned finance executive, holding an MBA from Mahatma Gandhi University. He is also a certified management accountant, credentialed by the Institute of Management Accountants in the United States. Since joining NTT Data’s Middle East team in 2009, he has steadily advanced through the organisation, taking on several key roles.
He served as vice president of finance for the Middle East for five years, where he developed deep expertise across the finance function. His extensive institutional knowledge, strategic insight and proven ability to enhance financial performance and operational efficiency make him exceptionally well-suited for his new role.
Barry will remain with NTT Data for a transitional period to ensure a smooth handover of responsibilities.
